Call Me By My Names

	  		

Verse 1:
 
D                           Em 
 My body's crushed from the pressure 
Cmaj7                         G 
 Need to get something off my chest 
D                          Em 
 Afraid you wanted someone better 
Cmaj7                      G 
 I swear I really tried my best 


 
   D 
To be the perfect daughter 
Em 
Wear what makes you happy 
Cmaj7 
Love who society thinks 
G 
Should be the other side of me 
   D 
Be happy 'cause I have it all 
  Em 
Be thankful for my family 
        Cmaj7 
And not longing for something 
G                    D 
I feel I shouldn't be 
Em            Cadd9   G 
 Longing to be me 


Verse 2:
D                            Em 
 There's a kid I thought the doctors mixed up childs 
         Cmaj7 
That I'm actually from a different family 
G 
 But got connected to the wrong files 
       D 
Then I think I fell asleep 
            Em 
Life's more livable in dreams 
    Cmaj7 
I decided to be quiet 
          G 
Drowned myself within my mind 

 
        D 
But I'm not the perfect daughter 
        Em 
I can't wear what makes you happy 
           Cmaj7 
Can't just love who society thinks 
G 
Should be the other side of me 
        D 
I'm not happy 'cause I'm not myself 
         Em 
And it's torture living as someone else 
   Cmaj7 
I'm longing to stop having to hide 
 G                  D        Em    C    G 
I can't be quiet anymore (anymore)

 I've never been the perfect daughter

But I'll be your son if that's okay
