G      Em              Bm           D
In our endeavor we are never seeing 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       G/B                  Am     Em       D
I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book

So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook

By saying there is no use changing
          Am           C            G        F
'Cause that's just what you are
               Am     C        G
That's just what you are
G      Em              Bm           D
Act steady always read to defend your 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       G/B                        Am     Em       D
It's not like you would lose some critical piece

If somehow you moved point A to point B

Maintaining there is no point Changing
          Am           C            G        F
'Cause that's just what you are

That's just what you are


Em          Em7           C        A
Now I could talk to you 'til I'm blue 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

So maybe you're right nobody can take

Something older than time and hope you could make

It better that would be a mistake
Am  C      G        FSo take it just so far
'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
