Mike Posner: Be as you are

Capo 1st
D..UDUD..UDUD.DU

Intro: Dm Am C Dm
Dm Am F C

1. Dm
Virginia Woolf and poeAm
try
No one seemed to notice me
C
Being young was getting Dm
so old
Dm
Cheap beer and cigaAm
rettes
Life was like a movie set
And F
I seemed to be given C
no role

Pre: But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon’ understand
So at age 18
I cried to my mother
And she told me, “young man”

Ch: “There are moments when you Dm
fall to the Am
ground
But you are stronger than you F
feel you are C
now
You don’t always have to Dm
speak so loudAm
, no
Just F
be asC
you are

Life is not always a comfortable ride
Everybody’s got scars that they hide
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
Just be as you are”

2. They Dm
played me on the radioAm

And everything was changing, so
C
I thought I was all the Dm
way grown
But Dm
I can still remember Am
in that cold November
When I F
realized I’m allC
alone

Pre:

Chorus: "There are moments when you Dm
fall to the Am
ground
But you are stronger than you F
feel you areC
now
You don't always have to Dm
speak so loudAm
, no
F
Just be as youC
are
It doesn't matter if you Dm
become some Am
star
Life is better when you F
open yourC
heart
You don't always have to Dm
act so hardAm
, no
F
Just be as you are, Just be asC
you are"

Bridge: If I’m speaking truthfully
I’m not who I used to be
And I know some people might laugh
‘Cause my music doesn’t sound the same
And my head’s no longer shaved
I’m worried if I’m on the right path

Pre:

Chorus: "There are moments when you Dm
fall to the Am
ground
But you are stronger than you F
feel you areC
now
You don't always have to Dm
speak so loudAm
, no
F
Just be as you aC
re
It doesn't matter if you Dm
become some Am
star
Life is better when you F
open yourC
heart
You don't always have to Dm
act so hardAm
, no
Just be F
as you are, Just be asC
you are"

Outro: F
Be as you are

Mike Posner: I Took a Pill in Ibiza

Capo 3rd fret

1. I took a pill in Em
Ibiza
To show Dsus4
Avicii I was D
cool
And when I Cadd9
finally got sober, C
felt ten years older
But G
fuck it, it was something to do

I'm living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes

Ch. But you don't wanna be Em
high like me
Never really knowing D
why like me
You don't ever wanna Cadd9
step off that roller coaster and be all G
alone

You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing

Em
All I knowD
are sad Cadd9
songs, sad G
songs
Darling, Em
all I knowD
are sad Cadd9
songs, sad G
songs

2. I'm just a Em
singer who alD
ready blew his shot
I get Cadd9
along with old timers
'Cause my C
name's a reminder of a G
pop song people forgot

And I can't keep a girl, no
'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up

Ch.

3. I took a plane to my hometown
I brought my pride and my guitar
All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
And the people still think I'm a star

I walked around downtown
I met some fans on Lafayette
They said tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient
So I looked 'em in the eye and said

Ch.
