Be As You Are - Mike Posner chords

Key: Em Singer/Band: Mike Posner


Intro [Em] [Bm] [G] [D] [Em] [Bm] [G] [D]
Verse 1
[Em]Virginia Woolf and [Bm]poetry
No one seemed to notice me
[D]Being young was getting [Em]so old
[Em]Cheap beer and [Bm]cigarettes
Life was like a movie set
[G]And I seemed to be given [D]no role
Pre-Chorus
But in [Em]times of trouble
[Bm]I can turn to my mother
And I [D]know that she gon' [Em]understand
So at [Em]age 18
[Bm]I cried to my mother
And she [G]told me, "young [D]man"
Chorus
"There are moments when you [Em]fall to the [Bm]ground
But you are stronger than you [G]feel you are [D]now
You don't always have to [Em]speak so [Bm]loud, no
[G]Just be as you [D]are
Life is not always a [Em]comfortable [Bm]ride
Everybody's got [G]scars that they [D]hide
And everybody plays the [Em]fool [Bm]sometimes, yeah
[G]Just be as you [D]are"
Verse 2
They [Em]played me on the [Bm]radio
And everything was changing, so
[D]I thought I was all the [Em]way grown
But [Em]I can still remember [Bm]in that cold November
When [G]I realized I'm all [D]alone
Pre-Chorus
But in [Em]times of trouble
[Bm]I can turn to my mother
And I [D]know that she gon' [Em]understand
So at [Em]age 22
[Bm]I cried to my mother
And she [G]told me, "young [D]man"
Chorus 2
"There are moments when you [Em]fall to the [Bm]ground
But you are stronger than you [G]feel you are [D]now
You don't always have to [Em]speak so [Bm]loud, no
[G]Just be as you [D]are
It doesn't matter if you [Em]become some [Bm]star
Life is better when you [G]open your [D]heart
You don't always have to [Em]act so [Bm]hard, no
[G]Just be as you are, [D]Just be as you are"
Bridge
[Em] [Bm] [G] [D] [Em] [Bm] [G] [D]
If [C]I'm speaking [Bm]truthfully
I'm not who I used to be
[D]And I know some people [C]might laugh
Cause my [C]music doesn't sound the [Bm]same
And my head's no longer shaved
[D]I'm worried if I'm on the right path
Pre-Chorus
But in [Em]times of trouble
[Bm]I can turn to my mother
And I [D]know that she gon' [Em]understand
So at [Em]age 26
[Bm]I spoke to my mother (Stop strumming)
And she told me, "young man"
Chorus 2
"There are moments when you [Em]fall to the [Bm]ground
But you are stronger than you [G]feel you are [D]now
You don't always have to [Em]speak so [Bm]loud, no
[Em]Just be as you [D]are
It doesn't matter if you [Em]become some [Bm]star
Life is better when you [G]open your [D]heart
You don't always have to [Em]act so [Bm]hard, no
Just be [D]as you are, Just be as you are"
[Em] [Bm] [G] [D] [Em] [Bm] [G] [D]
[Em] [Bm] [G] [D] [Em] [Bm] [G] [D]
[G]Be as you are
