[Verse 1]
B C#7 E B
I used to be so scared of going to Manners Mall
B C#7 E B
Of walking past those staring eyes that made me feel so small
B C#7 E B
Creeping up and down trying to find a fault to see
B C#7 E B
So they could lock me up inside and throw away the key
[Verse 2]
B C#7 E B
I've tried being someone else just so I could belong
B C#7 E B
I've lived my life in fear of putting one foot wrong
B C#7 E B
Although your words may hurt me it's time for me to go
B C#7 E B
I'm trying trying to be myself now.......And I think that you should know that...
[Chorus]
G D
I can go into town by myself if I want to
A
Look around at the world with my own eyes
E
I don't have to be afraid
G D
Why do we try to be the same competing with each other
A
All dressed up in brown cords and pyjamas
E
Pretending to be cool
[Verse 3]
B C#7 E B
I watched the world go by through the window of my mind
B C#7 E B
But how I saw myself made friends hard to find
B C#7 E B
I wasn't sure you liked me although I think you tried
B C#7 E B
I wanted you to like me more, to fill the hole inside
[Verse 4]
B C#7 E B
Accepting who I am didn't come from being the best
B C#7 E B
Or earning popularity by passing all your tests
B C#7 E B
The thing that helped me most Was when the realisation came
B C#7 E B
That there is a God who love's me, Who knows me by my name
