I Don’t Want to Be

I Don’t Want to Be: Chords

Intro:
DO5

DO5
 I don't need to be anything other

Than a prison guard's son

I don't need to be anything other

Than a specialist's son

I don't have to be anyone other

Than the birth of two souls in one

Part of where I'm going

Is knowing where I'm coming from

LAb      MIb             
 I don't want to be anything
SIb                       DOm      SIb   LAb
Other than what I've been tryna be lately
      MIb                      SIb
All I have to do is think of me
                     DOm  SIb  LAb
And I have peace of mind
             MIb
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
          SIb
Wondering what I gotta do
   DOm       SIb        LAb
Or who I'm supposed to be
        MIb                 SIb        DOm
I don't want to be anything other than me

DO5
  ...I'm surrounded by liars

Everywhere I turn

I'm surrounded by imposters

Everywhere I turn

I'm surrounded by identity crisis

Everywhere I turn

Am I the only one who noticed?

I can't be the only one who's learned

LAb      MIb             
 I don't want to be anything
SIb                       DOm      SIb   LAb
Other than what I've been tryna be lately

All I have to do is think of me

And I have peace of mind
             MIb
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
          SIb
Wondering what I gotta do
   DOm       SIb        LAb
Or who I'm supposed to be
        MIb                 SIb        DOm
I don't want to be anything other than me

SOLm                                     DO/SOL

You're gonna have to leave
FA7                       DO5 SIb FA7
 I came from the mountain
                     DO5 SIb FA7
The crust of creation
                             MIb
My whole situation made from clay to stone
    FA                       LAb
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be anything

Classici Italiani

I Don't Want to Be è un brano scritto e interpretato da Gavin DeGraw, contenuto nell'album Chariot pubblicato nel 2003. Disco d'esordio per il cantautore statunitense, si rivela un ottimo successo da oltre un milione di copie dopo alcuni anni di gavetta passati a suonare nei locali di Manhattan. La canzone è il primo singolo estratto dall'album e la vera artefice di tale successo: dedicata agli adolescenti consigliando loro di rimanere sé stessi, è stata scelta per la colonna sonora della serie TV "One Tree Hill".
