VERSE 1
G   D            C
And I said you shouldn't make facts out of opinions
G D        C
He said that I was right, You're right I knew that I was
G    D      C
And I'd hate to see anybody thank you
G    D        C
But I'd like to see you fail saying thank you though(?)
G  D       C
I'm not sure who I - am
G  D       C
I'm not sure who I - am, but I know who I've been

G  D       C
I'm not sure who I  am

I'm not sure who I  am but I know who I've been
