C
I, I've been on my own
                  Gsus4
Wasting too much time
                    G
Trying to find the light
                      C
The switch inside my mind
                          C
It's hard to know what's real
                    Gsus4
The truth of just a feeling
G
But I can't tell from here

Fmaj7
Now I gotta wake up
Am
Been feeling like a stranger
G                       D
All that I can hear is noise
Fmaj7
But I was barely breathing
Am
I'm gonna break through the ceiling
A#maj7
Now you're gonna hear my voice

Chorus:
D
You cannot define me
Am
You will never blind me
    F                            D
Or take the truth away from me again
        D
Oh, and I'm still trying to finally
Am
Put you all behind me
      F                               D
Yeah, I'll decide just who the hell I am
            F
I'm just a man
           D/F#
It's all I am
          Am
It's all I am

The future and the past
Are falling through our hands
And all we have is now
So take me as I am
Cause it ain't easy
I know you see me
No I'm not ashamed to show you
Who I really am

Now I finally wake up
And I don't see a stranger
I remember who I was
And I was barely breathing
Now I'm breaking through the ceiling
Yea you gonna hear my voice

Chorus:
You can not define me
You will never blind me
Or take the truth away from me again
Oh and I'm still trying to find me
Put you all behind me
I'll decide just who the hell I am
I'm just a man
That's all I am
I'm just a man
That's all I am

You can not define me
You will never blind me
Or take the truth away from me again
Oh and I'm still trying to find me
Put you all behind me
I'll decide just who the hell I am
I'm just a man
(You can not define me)
(You will never blind me)
That's all I am
(Or take the truth away from me again)
I'm just a man
(I'm still trying to find me)
(Put you all behind me)
I'll decide just who the hell I am
I'm just a man
