             G 
You know the good kid growing up that was me 
       Em 
I was voted most likely to be a priest 
       C                             G 
And I thought I could not let anyone down 

         G 
My definition of the way to be kind 
       Em 
Was to lose myself and to shun desire 
      C                      G 
I thought I had life figured out 

   Am  Em  C  G/B      Am  C         G  Em  C  G 
But I,          (oh) i am different now 

     G 
And all the little ways that I tried to rebel 
       Em 
Well, I kept them quiet hid them well 
         C                              G 
Because it wasn't real if it was never found 

      G 
And I looked at the world through the eyes of a mask 
      Em 
And compared myself with some fuzzy math 
      C                       G 
To stake my claim on higher ground 

   Am  Em  C  G/B    Am  C         G 
Oh I,          (oh) i am different now 
   Am  Em  C  G/B    Am  C         G  Em 
Oh I,               I am different now 



Am                      C 
  And I felt the holy water as a kid 
Am                      C                 G 
  But still the love of God felt like a stranger 
Am                      C 
  Had to live and die to become born again 
Am                  Em              D     G  Em  C  G 
   Baptized in the fire of all my failure 

      G 
Still have the flaws like I always did 
      Em                         C                  G 
A capacity for violence that I'm asking God to take away 
      G                                  Em 
But I can look the world in the eye and make my amends with an honest life 
      C                 G 
So the ones I love can say 

   Am  Em  C  G/B     Am  C         G 
That I,        (oh) i am different now 
   Am  Em  C  G/B     Am  C         G 
Oh I,               I am different now
