D                 A
Can't you see I'm just a writer
  Em                G
Learned enough to never be a liar again.

D, A, Em, G

  D                 A
Don't you know I'm not an actress
  Em                G
Taught myself to never ever try to pretend.

D, A, Em, G

  C      G        D
And don't get me wrong
  C      G        D
I, I have what you don't.


  D                   A
I have a heart that's covered in scars
  Em                  G
I got a beach, a melody and a guitar
  D                   A
I got a dream that's bigger than me
  Em                  G                  D
I got a rhyme, a rhythm and time on the sea
          A             Em           G
You'll never take that away from me.


  D                 A
I can see you with your judgement
  Em                G
Don't you know that's all you'll have to show in the end.

D, A, Em, G

  D                 A
Don't you know I'll go my own way
  Em                G
No surprise that I don't really care what you say.

D, A, Em, G

  C     G      D
Don't get me wrong
  C     G      D
I, I have what you don't


Chorus


  D                  A
Can't you see I'm just a writer
  Em                 G              A
Learned enough to never be a liar again
