Here's Gavin DeGraw, he's fairly new to the music scene. His first major song was
I don't want to be. You probably heard some of his songs before but don't know it...Anways, here's the song
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 anything other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
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
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attention please?
N.C> (C Dm Em)
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
N.C. (C Dm Em)
I came from the mountain
N.C. (C Dm Em)
The crust of creation
N.C>
My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
(strum one per chord)
I don't want to be
Anything other that what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
(start strumming again)
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
