Song

...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,
Am7 D9 Bm7 Emaj7, A6
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,
Am7 D9 Bm7 Emaj7, A6
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. 
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.
