[Verse]
C C/B
I feel like a quote out of context,
Am G F G Am D
Withholding the rest so I can be for you what you wanna see.
C C/B Am
I got the gesture and sounds, got the timing down
G F G Am D
It's uncanny, yeah, you'd think it was me. Do you think I should
G E7 Am G D
Take a class to lose my southern accent?
F G F G
Did I make me up or make the face that is stuck
F G C
I do the best imitation of myself.
[Verse]
C C/B Am G
The "problem with you" speech you gave me was fine
F G Am D
I liked the theories about my little stage.
C C/B Am
And I swore I was listening till I started drifting
G F G Am D
Around the part about me acting my age. Now if it's
G E7 Am G D
All the same... I've people to entertain.
F G F G
You know I'll juggle one-handed, do some magic tricks and
F G C
The best imitation of myself.
[Bridge]
E7 Am
Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole...
E7 Am
Wondering...
F Am
Who I am when I oughta know
F Am E7
Straighten up now time to go fool somebody else...
Am G D G E7
Fool somebody else.
[Verse]
C C/B Am G
Last night I was east with them... and west within...
F G Am D
Trying to be for you what you wanna see.
C C/B Am
But I can't help it with you, the good and bad comes through
G F G Am D
Don't want you hanging out with no-one but me.
G E7 Am G D
Now that it's all the same... it comes from the same place.
F G
And if my mind's somewhere else
F G
You won't be able to tell
F G C
I do the best imitation of myself
[Outro]
F G
Yes it's uncanny to see
F G
You'd really think it was me.
F G Am D
The best imitation of myself...
F G D
I do the best imitation of myself.
