Tom: Em
G B7 C Cm
Ok, I'm gonna do it like that
[Verse 1]
G B7
I never got with the program
C
The teacher would call me out
For daydreamin' I was like
Cm
"Dayum, I'll just hop out"
G B7
I cried into soggy cornflakes
C
My mom sent me back to school
Cm
Cause nobody wants a flunky in grade two
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
I wanna speak facts but I can barely breathe
B7
I wanna bring myself out but I'm in too deep
C
I've always had this intensity
Cm
I guess that's just what makes me, me
[Chorus]
G
How am I suppose to be myself
B7
If I'm always taking notes from someone else
C Cm
And everything I do seems to offend somebody new
G
I've been tryna love myself
B7
And never compare to someone else
C Cm
Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new
[Verse 2]
G B7
I never got A's that easy
C
The summer didn't last that long
I spent it on a halfpipe
Cm
"Dayum, I'll just drop in"
G B7
I tie my Vans with broken laces
C
Got green paint stains on my jeans
Cm
Guess I'll graduate with braces on my teeth
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
I wanna run track when it's time to walk
B7
I wanna speak up when it's wrong to not
C
I've always had this integrity
Cm
I guess that's just what makes me, me
[Chorus]
G
How am I suppose to be myself
B7
If I'm always taking notes from someone else
C Cm
And everything I do seems to offend somebody new
G
I've been tryna love myself
B7
And never compare to someone else
C Cm
Cause everything I do makes me feel like somebody new
[Bridge]
G
This is how I do
B7
This is how I be
C
I know sometimes my socks don't match
Cm
I guess it's in my genes
G
This is how I do
B7
This is how I be
C
It may not seem like much to you
Cm
But it's enough for me
[Instrumental]
G B7 C Cm x2
[Outro]
G B7
Ooh, you know how I do
C
And you know that it's true
Cm
So let me be me and I'll let you be you
