That's Not Me Lyrics

...THAT'S NOT ME... by The Beach Boys
*from 'Pet Sounds' (1966)*
(modified from Andrew Roger's original tab)
*CAPO 2nd FRET*
(Original Key: A)
Verse 1:
I had to prove that I could,
Make it alone now,
But that's not me.
I wanted to show,
How independent I'd grown now,
But that's not me.
Bridge 1:
I could try to be big,
In the eyes of the world.
What matters to me,
Is what I could be,
To just one girl.
Chorus 1:
I'm a little bit scared,
'Cos I haven't been home,
In a long time.
You needed my love,
And I know that I left,
At the wrong time.
Verse 2:
My folks when I wrote them,
Told 'em what I was up to said;
That's not me.
I went through all kinds of changes,
Took a look at myself and said;
That's not me.
Bridge 2:
I miss my pad,
And the places I've known,
And every night,
As I lay there alone;
I would dream.
Chorus 2:
I once had a dream,
So I packed up and split,
For the city.
I soon found out,
That my lonely life,
Wasn't so pretty.
I'm glad I went,
Now I'm that much more sure,
That we're ready.
Coda:
I once had a dream,
So I packed up and split,
For the city.
I soon found out,
That my lonely life,
Wasn't so pretty.
(Repeat to Fade)
