Who You Are (Google Play Exclusive for Merge Record's 25th Anniversary)

~Tabbed by ETX~
Note: I've tried to mark the chords where the strikes on the piano are, but it's just approximation.

     D                  A       D                 A
I know your world is full of people who have nothing
           Em         G              Em         G
Who have nothing to give, who have nothing to give
     D          A              D             A
I know everyone's trying to sell you the illusion
        Em            G          Em                 G
That keeps them in hell, that keeps them down in hell

     D              A            Em                  G
I'm stuck in my confusion but I know that you'll go far
         D               A             Em               G
You're chased by the horizon because you know who you are

G

         D                 G    D     A              G
Hope you remember who you are,     remember who you are

     D                  A      D                A        
I know they only see you as someone they can use 
              Em               G                Em                  G   A
As someone they can pick or choose and then blame you when they lose
           D             A                   Em              G
I don't want to be a mistake that only falls off of your radar
               D         A            Em              G
You can't afford a mistake because you know who you are

G

            D             G    D   A                G
Hope you remember who you are,   remember who you are


Interlude: C C D


D                A      D                 A
All I can give you is one of my stupid songs
           Em                    G                  Em                 G   A
And I know it's not the real thing, wish I could give you the real thing


    D             A               Em            G
I'm lost in the sky but I would bet upon your star
        D               A           Em               G
You're alone in this life unless you know who you are

G

              D             G    D           A              G
I hope you remember who you are, you gotta remember who you are
D   A              G   
  Remember who you are, yeah

Ending jam: mixture of D A and G
