G#                  C#           G#
I wouldn't be who I am, without you
            C#                           D#
I wouldn't sing the way I sing, without you
            C#            G#
You fill my eyes up with color
           Fm7
And you'll always be my mother
           G#  C#   G#
I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be the son that I am
Without a father who showed me I can
Face all the bullies at school
You taught me how to keep my cool
I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be the brother I am
Without a sister who understands
My ambitions and dreams
We always were on the same team
I wouldn't be who I am

            C#
Without the people
         D#
We don't see no more
    C#                           D#
And all the imperfections on my skin
    C#                    Fm7
The family tree, with its branches around me
    C#                       D#
Oh, I just wouldn't be who I am
C#                  D#
I wouldn't be who I am

           G# C#    G#
I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be who I am

I wouldn't be the human I am
Without the friends that let me fly and help me land
Our foundations go deep
I'll always have a place to sleep
I wouldn't be who I am
