Thats Not Me

...THAT'S NOT ME... by The Beach Boys

*from 'Pet Sounds' (1966)*

(modified from Andrew Roger's original tab)

(Original Key: A)

Verse 1:

I had to prove that I could make it alone now,

But that's not me.

I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now,

But that's not me.

Bridge 1:

I could try to be big in the eyes of the world,

What matters to me is what I could be,

To just one girl...

Chorus 1:

I'm a little bit scared, 'cos I haven't been home in a long time.

You needed my love, and I know that I left at the wrong time.

Verse 2:

My folks when I wrote them, told 'em what I was up to said;

That's not me.

I went through all kinds of changes, took a look at myself and said;

That's not me.

Bridge 2:

I miss my pad and the places I've known,

And every night, as I lay there alone,

I would dream...

Chorus 2:

I once had a dream, so I packed up and split for the city.

I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty.

I'm glad I went, now I'm that much more sure that we're ready.

Coda:

I once had a dream, so I packed up and split for the city.

I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty.

I once had a dream, so I packed up and split for the city.

I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty.
