That's Just What You Are

[G]In our [Em]endeavor we are [Bm]never seeing [D]eye to eye
No guts to sever so forever may we wave good-bye
And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move
When I wonder what could make the needle jump the groove
[C]I won't [G/B]fall for the oldest t[Am]rick in[Em] the book[D]
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook
By saying there is no use changing
'Cause tha[Am]t's just what[C] you are     [G]              [F]
That's just wha[Am]t you a[C]re       [G]
[G]Act ste[Em]ady always read [Bm]to defend you[D]r fears
What's the matter with the truth did I offend your ears
By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try
Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy
[C]It's not[G/B] like you would lose some c[Am]ritical[Em] piece   [D]
If somehow you moved point A to point B
Maintaining there is no point Changing
'Cause tha[Am]t's just what[C] you are     [G]              [F]
That's just what you are

[Em]Now I could [Em7]talk to you 't[C]il I'm bl[A]ue in the face
But we still would arrive at the very same place
[G]        [G/f#]    [C]           [A]          [C]     [C]/B    [A]
With you running around and me out of the race

[G] [Em] [Bm] [D] 4x

[C]So maybe[G/B] you're rig[Am]ht nobo[Em]dy can ta[D]ke
Something older than time and hope you could make
It better that would be a mistake
[Am]So t[C]ake it [G]just so f[F]ar
'Cause that's just what you are
That's just what you are
That's just what you are
Acting steady always ready
To defend your fears
(that's just what you are)
What's the matter with the truth
Did I offend your ears
(that's just what you are)
You're like a sleepwalking man
It's a danger to wake you
(that's just what you are)
Even when it is apparent
Where your actions will take you
(that's just what you are)
And that's just what you are
(that's just what you are)
And that's just what you are
(that's just what you are)
That's just what you are
