G         C CaddG       GI am a question to the world,
G        C CaddG     GNot an answer to be heard.
C    CaddG     Em7  D           C  CaddGOr a moment that's held in your arms.
     G           C  CaddG         GAnd what do you think you'd ever say?
    C    CaddG      GI won't listen anyway
            C    CaddGYou don't know me,
    G          Em7          D       C  CaddGAnd I'll never be what you want me to be.



And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man
You can take me and throw me away.
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own.
They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

      C       CaddGThey don't know me,
 Em7        D    C CaddG'Cause I'm not here.

*end chorus*

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They're the ones that stay the same.
They can't see me,
But I'm still here.

BRIDGE:

 Em7       Am                C *riff*They can't tell me who to be,
     Em7   Am              C *riff*'Cause I'm not what they see.
         Em7And the world is still sleepin',
Am                             C *riff* While I keep on dreamin' for me.
    Em7                          And their words are just whispers
Am                       C D  C CaddG *riff*And lies that I'll never believe.

*end bridge*

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can they say I never change
They're the ones that stay the same.
I'm the one now,
'Cause I'm still here.


           GI'm the one,
         Em   D   G'Cause I'm still here.

 Em   D    GI'm still here.
I'm still here.
I'm still here.
