"Who I Am Hates Who I've Been"
By: Relient K
Tabbed by: John McPherson - Baylor U.

The chords used are largely inversions of A2, in which the D and G strings are pressed
down in the second fret. Then you can slide up to the fourth fret for B2, and don't
bar-just use your forefinger to press second fret A string (bass B) and mute the
string. Move your fingers up just like this to hit C#m (you don't have to hit the B
string to get the minor-it's redundant).
The chord I reference as E is this same setup moved up to the forefinger in the 7th
fret and the others in the 9th, not muting the E-string. Low E is just normal E in the
first/second fret.
Feel free to add anything to this or to change it, but I think it's pretty darned closen
to the studio recording they did, 'cause I listened to it about 50 times... God Bless

(Verse 1)
E I watched the proverbial sunrise
A2 coming up over the Pacific and
C#m you might think I'm losing my mind,
B2 but I will shy away from the specifics...
A2 'cause I don't want you to kB2now where IC#m am
'cause tA2hen you'll see my heB2art
in the sC#maddest state it's ever been.
A2 This is no place to B2try and live my life.
[Pre-Chorus]
lowE E B2 B/D#
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
A2 See that lC#mine. Well I nB2ever should have crossed it.
lowE E B2 B/D#
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
that it's the vA/G#ery moment tA2hat
I wB2ish that I could take back.
[Chorus]
E I'm sorry for the person I became. B2 C#m
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change. B2 E
I'm ready to try and never become that way again B2 C#m
'cause who I am hates who I've been.A2
B2 (Intro)
Who I am hates who I've been.
(Verse 2)
E I talk to absolutely no one.
A2 Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the thC#mings bottled inside have finally begun
to crB2eate so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.
E I heard the reverberating footsteps
A2 sinking up to the beating of my heart,
C#m and I was positive that unless I B2got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
And A2I can't let that B2happen agC#main
'cause tA2hen you'll see my hB2eart
in the C#msaddest state it's ever been.
A This is no place to B2try and live my life.
[Pre-Chorus x2]
[Chorus]
E/G# Who I amA2 hates who I've beB2en
B2/C C#m
and who I am won't take the second chance you gave me.
Who I aA2m hates who I've beenE
'cause who I've been oB2nly ever made me...
E So sorry for the person I became. B2 C#m
So sorry that it took so long for me to change. B2 E
I'm ready to try and never become that way agaB2in C#m
'cause who I am hates who I've bA2een.
B2 (intro)
Who I am hates who I've been.
