[Verse 1]
F
I’m looking in the mirror but that’s not me
Am
It’s someone else who looks a little like me
Bb C# C
But they’re trying way too hard
F
I go outside in borrowed clothes and borrowed shoes
Am
It seemed like the most logical thing to do
Bb C# C F Fsus4 F
But it’s not safe to go out in the middle of the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Am
But it’s all my head has got
Bb
To be everything I’m not
Dm C
Take me and paint me by numbers
Gm Am
And though my head can try
Bb
This happens every night
Dm C C/C#
I’m not your sister or brother
[Chorus]
Bb
I’m an imposter I know
F A
I’m an imposter I know
Bb
I’m an imposter I know
F A
And I’m loving the bluffing but I really know nothing no
[Interlude]
Bb F A
Really know nothing no

[Verse 2]
F
I wile away the weeks with a sour face
Am
Knowing now that someone else has took my place
Bb C# C
They're still trying way too hard
F
I wished for this I know but now I take it back
Am
I’ll return as the slowest in the wolfpack
Bb
now those old flaws seem like bliss
Dm Dm/C# C
just give me anything but this
[Chorus]
A Bb
Oh, I’m an imposter I know
F A
I’m an imposter I know
Bb
I’m an imposter, do you think they know
F A
When I’m loving the bluffing but I really know nothing no
[Interlude]
Bb F A
Really know nothing no

[Bridge]
(play arpeggios!)
Gm Am
And then the party stops
Bb Dm
And all the bodies swap back to their owners,
C Gm
It’s horribly normal again
Am Bb
Sweaty and confused, I look around the room
Dm C C/C#
I’m just like all of the others!
[Interlude]
Bb F A
Oooohh
Bb F A
Oooohh Oh Ooh Oh
[Chorus]
Bb
I’m an imposter I know
F A
I’m an imposter I know
Bb
I’m an imposter, do you think they know
F A
When I’m loving the bluffing but I really know- no no
Bb
Oh, I know
F A
I’m an imposter I know
Bb
I’m an imposter, do you think they know
F A
When I’m loving the bluffing but I really know nothing no
