        C#
This is all I ever wanted
      G#
All I ever thought I'd be
         C#
It's the only place I truly feel
     G#
As though I can be me
         A#m
But the way I arrived
       Fm
It was overnight
          D#/G
I've been on my worst behaviour
    A#m                 D#
Been on my worst behaviour

Chorus:
D#                          G#
If only it ain't been like this
                              A#m
Now I can hold my heart in a fist
And all the voices leave
       C#            D#
I can finally put it on my sleeve
    G#                        Fm
Oo-oh, if only they'd really seen it
                          C#
Maybe they would finally believe me
When I say I've won
         D#/G
And my father gets to see his son
                 Fm D#  C#
That he can feel proud of
            Fm D#  C#
He can feel proud of
              G#
He's proud of me

This is all I ever wanted
All I ever thought I'd be
But the way that I behaved
Could have seen quite the contrary

I felt all the lives
They're out of sight
I've been on my worst behaviour
Been on my worst behaviour

Chorus:
If only I ain't been like this
Now I can hold my heart in a fist
And all the voices leave
I can finally put it on my sleeve
Oh, if only they'd really seen it
Maybe they would finally believe me
When I say I've won
And my mother gets to see her son
That she can feel proud of
She can feel proud of
She's proud of me

               C#
She's proud of me
                 Fm
They're proud of me
                 D#
They're proud of me
                 G#
They're proud of me
                C#
She's proud of me
              Fm
She's proud of
She's proud of
                D#
They're proud of
They're proud of
                  G#
They're proud of me
                  C#
They're proud of me
                 Fm
They're proud of me
She's proud of
                D# C#
They're proud of

Chorus:
If only I ain't been like this
Now I can hold my heart in a fist
And all the voices leave
I can finally put it on my sleeve
Oh, if only they had really seen it
Then maybe they would finally believe me
When I say I've won
And my family gets to see their
That they can feel proud of
They can feel proud of
They can feel proud of
They're proud of me
