C C^
I feel like a quote out of context,
Am F G Am D^
Withholding the rest so I can be for you what you wanna see.
C C^ Am
I've got the gestures and sounds, got the timing down
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 'til it stuck
F G C
I do the best imitation of myself.
C C^ Am
The problem was your speech you gave me was fine
F G Am D^
Like the theories about my little stage.
C C^ Am
And I swore I was listening but I started drifting
F G Am D^
'Round 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
I juggle one-handed, do some magic tricks and

Am G D G G^
Fool somebody else. Last night I was
C C^ Am
East wind of them... a voice within...
F G Am D^
Trying to be for you what you wanna see.
C C^ Am

Don't want you hanging out with no-one but me. Now that it's

F G
You won't be able to tell
F G C

F G
You'd really think it was me.
F G Am D^

F G D
I do the best imitation of myself.
