Capo 2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G        C              G
I am a question to the world
        C             G
Not an answer to be heard
       C            Am7            C
Or a moment, that's held in your arms
 
     G           C                G
And what, do ya think you'd ever say?
           C     G
I won't listen anyway
            C
You don't know me
      Em       D           C          G C G C
And I'll never be what you want me to be
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     G             C                 G
And what, do you think you'd understand?
       C              G
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man
            C           Am7       C
You can't take me, and throw me away
 
     G              C                 G
And how, can you learn what's never shown?
           C                   G
Yeah, you stand here on your own
             C
They don't know me,
        Em  D    C      G C G C
'cause I'm not here
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G        C             G
And I want a moment to be real
       C                     G
Wanna touch things I don't feel
        C           Am7    C
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
     G           C                 G
And how, can the world want me to change?
             C                  G
They're the ones that stay the same
            C             Em  D    C
They don't know me, 'cause I'm not here
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
     G             C                 G
And you, see the things they never see
         C               G
All you wanted, I could be
          C           Am7       C
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
 
    G        C             G
And I, wanna tell you who I am
         C            G
Can you help me be a man?
            C
They can't break me
   Em         D         C      G C G C
As long as I know who I am
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G        C             G
And I want a moment to be real
       C                     G
Wanna touch things I don't feel
        C           Am7    C
Wanna hold on, and feel I belong
     G           C                 G
And how, can the world want me to change?
             C                  G
They're the ones that stay the same
            C            Em  D    C
They can't see me, but I'm still here
 
 
[Bridge]
 
C          D              Em
They can't tell me who to be

Yeah, the world is still sleeping while I keep on dreaming, for me
          C                           D                    Em D C  *
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G        C             G
And I want a moment to be real
       C                     G

And how, can they say I'll never change?
             C                  G
They're the ones that stay the same
         C                Em  D    C
I'm the one now, 'cause I'm still here
 
 
[Outro]
 
        G            Em   D    G
I'm the one, 'cause I'm still here
  Em  D     G
I'm still here
  Em  D    G
I'm still here
  Em  D    C
I'm still here

I think it works well, though I personally transposed it to A and left out the capo. Easy enough chords. Also: "and it wasn't just whispers and lies . . ." should be "and their words are just whispers and lies." :D
