Tom: Em
Em
Lost in Los Angeles
G D
Full of pride and empty promises
C
This city ain't good for me
Em
I want what isn't mine
G D
The grass is greener on the other side
C
I'm feeling that jealousy
[Prechorus]
Em
I'm trying to catch up with the human races
G
Stuck in second places
D
Never good enough, never good enough,
C
Never good enough
Em
I'm trying real hard to keep smiles on faces
G
When I'm sad I just fake it
D
I have had enough, I have had enough,
C
I have had enough
[Chorus]
Em
I wanna be
G
I wanna be u-
D C
I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
Em
I wanna be
G
I wanna be u-
D C
I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
[Verse 2]
Em
Small checks I'm self-employed
G D
But when they come I spend to fill a void
C
I know it ain't good for me
Em
Will this hit the radio?
G D
What if I don't make it? Oh I hope,
C
My parents are proud of me
[Prechorus]
Em
I'm trying to catch up with the human races
G
Stuck in second places
D
Never good enough, never good enough,
C
Never good enough
Em
I'm trying real hard to keep smiles on faces
G
When I'm sad I just fake it
D
I have had enough, I have had enough,
C
I have had enough
[Chorus]
Em
I wanna be
G
I wanna be u-
D C
I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
Em
I wanna be
G
I wanna be u-
D C
I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
[Bridge]
Em
But I know that sometimes I can be
G D
My worst enemy, I'm uptight, I'm sick of it,
C
need to loosen up a bit
Em
I just wanna look me in the face,
G
Please get off my case
D
It's my life I'm living it,
C
I'll do what I want with it
Em
Why do I feel his way?
G
I know this isn't me
D C
When I see 'em, I wanna be 'em
Em
Always compare myself,
G
Try to be someone else
D
Why do I do it?
C
I wish I knew it
[Chorus]
Em
I wanna be
G
I wanna be u-
D C
I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
Em
I wanna be
G
I wanna be u-
D C
I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
[Bridge]
Em
But I know that sometimes I can be
G D
My worst enemy, I'm uptight, I'm sick of it,
C
need to loosen up a bit
Em
I just wanna look me in the face,
G
Please get off my case
D
It's my life I'm living it,
C
I'll do what I want with it
[Outro]
Em
I wanna be
