VERSE 1
[C] [C/B] [Am]
I feel like a quote out of context withholding the rest
[G] [F] [G] [Am][Am/B][Am/C][Dsus4][D7]
So I can be for you what you want to see.
[C] [C/B] [Am]
I got the gesture and sounds, got the timing down.
[G] [F] [G] [Am] [Am/B] [Am/C] [Dsus4] [D7]
It's uncanny, yeah, you'd think it was me.
CHORUS
[G] [E7/G#]
Do you think I should take a class
[Am] [C/G] [D7/F#]
To lose my southern accent?
[F] [Gadd4] [F] [Gadd4]
Did I make me up, or make a face till it stuck?
[F] [Gsus4] [C] [F/C] [C] [F/C] [C] [F/C] [C] [F/C]
I do the best imitation of myself.
VERSE 2
The "problem with you" speech you gave me was fine.
I liked the theories about my little stage.
And I swore I was listening,
but I started drifting around the part about me acting my age.
CHORUS
Now if it's all the same, I've people to entertain.
I juggle one-handed, do some magic tricks and
The best imitation of myself.
BRIDGE
[E] [E7/G#] [Am] [C/G]
Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole.
[E7/G#] [Am] [F] [G][Am]
Wonder - ing, who I am when I ought to know.
[G] [F] [Am]
Straighten up now time to go.
[E7] [Am] [C/G] [Am/F#][G][E7/G#]
Fool somebody else, fool somebody else.
VERSE 3
Last night I was east with them, and west within
Trying to be for you what you wanna see.
But I can't help it with you, the good and bad come through.
Don't want you hanging out with no one but me.
CHORUS
Now if it's all the same, it comes from the same place.
And if my mind's somewhere else, you won't be able to tell.
[F] [Gsus4] [C] [F/C] [C]
I do the best imitation of myself.
CHORUS
Yes it's uncanny to see, you'd really think it was me,
[F] [Gsus4] [Am] [B] [C] [D]
The best imitation of my - self.
[F] [Gsus4] [Am] [D]
I do the best imitation of my - self.
