Gm    F                     A# F/A
Somewhere the sun is shining
    Gm           F
On some unhappy day
Gm    F                          A# F/A
Somewhere there's people laughing
       A#                     C D
They think they've found the way

Chorus:
            Gm C
But its not me
        Gm         C
Its not me, no no now
        Gm           F          A#           C
Its not me, Its not me, Its not me, Its not me
I'm not the one

Well sure I used to cry, but I used to laugh to
I had ups as well as downs you see
But I been down now for so long
I've forgotten all my dreams

Chorus:
Yea it must be me
It must be me, you know now
Its not me, Its not me, Its not me, Its not me
I'm not the one
        Gm
in the sun

D#
Since I became
Gm
I've wondered what I've become
D#
Lord I know it can't be much longer before
A           D
I find my place in sun

Sometimes I wonder will I figure something out
Will I find a reason good enough to live
Lord if it don't dawn on me pretty soon
I think something's gonna give

Chorus:
Yea it might be me
Yea it just might be me, yea
Its not me, no it can't be
Because I'm not the one in the sun
No I'm not the one
Yea I'm not the one
But I'm not the one
Gm   F                   D# D
Sorry to say I'm not the one
