Who do you think you are?
You’re talking so loud, you bury the sound of your heart that’s singing out

|---6------6------7------9-----|
|---7------7------7------9-----|

And where do you want to be?
On the top of your world, where you’re just a girl who forgot what it’s like to dream

But you’re so tired one day you might open up your eyes and find

[Chorus]:
E                     Bm
What you’ve got isn’t what you wanted

D                  A           E
What you need just happens to be

A                            Bm
What you’ve got, what you’ve always wanted

D                  A           E
What you need just happens to be

Someone you should know
But you tried to hide between the lines of a story never told

|---0------0------0------0-----|
|---0------0------0------0-----|
|---6------6------7------9-----|
|---7------7------7------9-----|
|---0------5------x------7-----|
|-----------------7------------| (2x)
I’ve seen you run away
You’re afraid of the fall, the weight of it all it’s too much

|---7---------------------------6------------|
|---7---------------------------7------------|
|---x---------------------------7------------|

      But you might change your mind

|--------x--------------------------7---------|
|--------7--------------------------0---------|
If you’d stand up one day you might open up your eyes to find

[Chorus]

                     F#m
Someone you should know

          A           D     A          E
La da da da, la da da da... la da da da da da da

F#m           A           Bm     E
...La da da da, la da da da

How do you keep it up?
It’s all just a front, a dangerous stunt, you’re gonna come down soon enough.

   Don’t be scared, you might find you had it all the time

E                  Bm
What you’ve got is what you wanted

D                  A           E
What you need just happens to be

         D                A            D                 A
What you tried so hard to hide, it was there between the lines

     Bm              E
Of a story never told about someone you should know

A       Bm
...It’s what you wanted

D                  A          E
What you need just happens to be

A                  Bm
What you’ve got is what you wanted

D                  A             E
What you need just happens to be someone you should know
