Who I'll Never Be

	  		 



Am 
She locked herself in that room 
with a full view of a full moon 
D 
and this where she comes to fly 
Dm 
when she wanna disappear from what's outside. 
Am 
I try not to make it obvious 
she doesn't know there's an audience. 
Am 
These walls are ripped and thin 
So it ain't my fault that I'm listenin'. 
D 
And I can make out every word 
Dm 
Cause she sing loud like a trapped bird 
Am 
she looks out at the stars 
when she writes songs on that guitar. 

C 
And every song you write without me, 
Dsus4                           Am 
just another sad song to me. 
C 
And every song you write without me, 
Dsus4                           Am 
sound like who I'll never be. 

Am 
She picked up her instrument 
and I don't know where I went. 
D 
I just close my eyes and float 
Dm 
like I'm in there with her tryin' to hold all 
Am 
the notes she hits, motionless, 
my secret solo show she gives. 
Am 
Sometimes she'll search for a line 
and I wish I could give her one of mine. 
D 
But it would all unravel 
Dm 
if she found out I was in the shadows. 
Am 
So I suppress what I obsess, 
but your biggest fan wanna sing a duet. 

C 
Because every song you write without me, 
Dsus4                           Am 
just another sad song to me. 
C 
And every song you write without me, 
Dsus4                           Am 
sound like who I'll never be. 

Am 
Familiar with the voice of the lonely, 
lost in the noise of the wind blowing, 
D 
Go ahead, girl, tell your story, 
Dm 
but the siren don't wail for holy. 
Am 
Play your heart by strings, 
with the parts you sing. 
Can't wait to hear what tomorrow brings. 
Am 
And if you ever get to smile, 
I'll be right here tryin' to reconcile 
D 
my desire to admire your sadness. 
Dm 
You gon rise from the fire and ashes. 
Am 
And if it's all the same to you, 
you oughta let me be the one to change your tune 

C 
Cause every song you write without me, 
Dsus4                           Am 
just another sad song to me. 
C 
And every song you write without me, 
Dsus4                           Am 
sound like who I'll never be.
