You Am I is a four-piece Australian power pop/alternative rock band, fronted by vocalist/guitarist and songwriter Tim Rogers. They were the first Australian band to have three albums consecutively debut at #1 on the ARIA Charts and are renowned for their energetic live shows.
Tim Rogers formed the first version of the band in Sydney, Australia, with his school friend Nick Tischler and his older brother Jaimme in December 1989. This initial line-up was short lived and by the end of 1990 both Nick and Jaimme had left the band.

VERSE
G So I strayed DEm Until my bridges all burned in a sneeze BC And now I'm holding by the skin of my teeth AC She's got be grinning like a karaoke king AG Without a clue on how the thing begins DEm And that's where the hell I'll reside BC In between the width of her smile AC So if you spy me just let it be AC I'm far beyond what you knew of me
