​i am not who i was

[Intro]
C Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7
 
[Verse 1]
C
I've been living on the road
Fmaj7
Made a buck off my soul
     Am                   G
I've been singing stories to the crowd
Fmaj7
It's been a while since I've been home
C
I think about you every night
      Fmaj7
Wonder what it would've been like
     Am                G
If I stuck around and settled down
Fmaj7
Maybe in another life
 
[Chorus]
         Am Fmaj7 C
So, if I fly too far
       Am           Fmaj7             C
Will I still have a place inside your heart?
              Am Fmaj7         C
And, when you see what I've become
         Am                Fmaj7         C
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?
 
[Verse 2]
C
You keep me steady on the ground
        Fmaj7
When my head's lost in the clouds
      Am                  G
That spotlight, though it shines bright
      Fmaj7
Could never drown you out
C
I know it's hard when I'm away
          Fmaj7
I'll just hope you don't lose faith
         Am                    G
'Cause I told the truth when I said to you
     Fmaj7
That I'll be back someday
 
[Chorus]
         Am Fmaj7 C
So, if I fly too far
       Am           Fmaj7             C
Will I still have a place inside your heart?
                 Am Fmaj7       C
And, when you've seen what I've become
         Am                Fmaj7         C
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?
 
[Outro]
         Am               Fmaj7        C
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?
