(Verse 1): Ab5 B5 E5 C#5 F#5
Ab5
Coming places, collecting careless,
B5
Sentences say so i write them down,
        E5
So i am more than.
                     C#5       F#5
And you shood to, do more everywhere.
Ab5
Coming luck, you can surrender,
B5                                        E5
Its the only way to you to learn the alphabet,
                     C#5             F#5
Made up of words you never resist to quote.

Pre-Chorus: E5 B5 Bb5 Ab5

E5          B5     Bb5 Ab5
If all this wisdom is  true,
E5                            B5   Bb5  Ab5
Then i say it can really have come from you.


(Chorus)

Bb5            Ab5
I am what i am not,
Bb5            Ab5
I am what i am not,
B5                      Bb5  Ab5
There must be something more than,
Bb5           Ab5      B5
If i'm just a thought, i'm not.

Ab5
Faster than your destination,
B5
Knowing where you really are,
                    E5
Its what you always do,
                  C#5 F#5
Or is it when you can,
Ab5
Happiness didn't happen,
B5
Sooner than the sound,
              E5
that calls to most of them mistakes,
       C#5    F#5
that I taught you.

(Pre-Chorus)

E5          B5     Bb5 Ab5

E5                            B5   Bb5  Ab5
Then i say it can really have come from you.

I am what i am not,
Bb5            Ab5

There must be something more than,
Bb5         Ab5
i am what i am not.
B5                  Bb5  Ab5
If theres something more than.

Bb5            Ab5
I am what i am not,
Bb5            Ab5
I am what i am not,
B5                      Bb5  Ab5
There must be something more than,
Bb5           Ab5 C#5 B5
If i am what i am not.
