Em
        Lost in Los Angeles
        G                            D
        Full of pride and empty promises
                                 C
        This city ain't good for me
        Em
        I want what isn't mine
            G                              D
        The grass is greener on the other side
                               C
        I'm feeling that jealousy

[Prechorus]
                            Em
        I'm trying to catch up with the human races
        G
        Stuck in second places
        D
        Never good enough, never good enough,
              C
        Never good enough
                        Em
        I'm trying real hard to keep smiles on faces
        G
        When I'm sad I just fake it
        D
        I have had enough, I have had enough,
               C
        I have had enough

[Chorus]
                  Em
        I wanna be
                   G
        I wanna be u-
                   D        C
        I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
                  Em
        I wanna be
                   G
        I wanna be u-
                   D        C
        I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique

[Verse 2]
        Em
        Small checks I'm self-employed
            G                                D
        But when they come I spend to fill a void
                                 C
        I know it ain't good for me
        Em
        Will this hit the radio?
        G                             D
        What if I don't make it? Oh I hope,
                                C
        My parents are proud of me

[Prechorus]
                            Em
        I'm trying to catch up with the human races
        G
        Stuck in second places
        D
        Never good enough, never good enough,
              C
        Never good enough
                        Em
        I'm trying real hard to keep smiles on faces
        G
        When I'm sad I just fake it
        D
        I have had enough, I have had enough,
               C
        I have had enough

[Chorus]
                  Em
        I wanna be
                   G
        I wanna be u-
                   D        C
        I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
                  Em
        I wanna be
                   G
        I wanna be u-
                   D        C
        I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique

[Bridge]
                        Em
        But I know that sometimes I can be
                 G                       D
        My worst enemy, I'm uptight, I'm sick of it,
                       C
        need to loosen up a bit
                     Em
        I just wanna look me in the face,
                          G
        Please get off my case
                         D
        It's my life I'm living it,
                       C
        I'll do what I want with it
                          Em
        Why do I feel his way?
                          G
        I know this isn't me
               D                C
        When I see 'em, I wanna be 'em
                         Em
        Always compare myself,
                          G
        Try to be someone else
                 D
        Why do I do it?
                 C
        I wish I knew it

[Chorus]
                  Em
        I wanna be
                   G
        I wanna be u-
                   D        C
        I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique
                  Em
        I wanna be
                   G
        I wanna be u-
                   D        C
        I wanna be uuuuuuuuunique

[Bridge]
                        Em
        But I know that sometimes I can be
                 G                       D
        My worst enemy, I'm uptight, I'm sick of it,
                       C
        need to loosen up a bit
                     Em
        I just wanna look me in the face,
                          G
        Please get off my case
                         D
        It's my life I'm living it,
                       C
        I'll do what I want with it

[Outro]
                  Em
        I wanna be
