Here's Gavin DeGraw, he's fairly new to the music scene. His first major song was
I don't want to be. You probably heard some of his songs before but don't know it...Anways, here's the song
C                           Dm
I don't need to be anything other
       A
Than a prison guard's son
C                          Dm
I don't need to be anything other 
       A
Than a specialist's son
C                           Dm
I don't have to be anything other
A 
Than the birth of two souls in one
C                                   Dm               A
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from
G       D
I don't want to be
             A                            E
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
G             D
All I have to do
             A             E
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
G                     D
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
          A
Wondering what I've got to do
E
Or who I'm supposed to be
G        D                   A          E
I don't want to be anything other than me
C                 Dm                 A
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
C                 Dm                    A
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
C                  Dm                         A        
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
C          Dm          A
Am I the only one who noticed?
C             Dm                A
I can't be the only one who's learned
G             D
I don't want to be 
          A                        E
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
G            D
All I have to do
            A                     E
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
G            D
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
          A              
Wondering what I've got to do 
E
Or who I'm supposed to be
G        D          A             E
I don't want to be anything other than me
C                     Dm         E
Can I have everyone's attention please?
N.C>                                                         (C Dm Em)
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
N.C.                     (C Dm Em)
I came from the mountain
N.C.                   (C Dm Em)
The crust of creation
N.C>                        C     Dm    Em
My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone
     C         Dm      Em
And now I'm telling everybody
(strum one per chord)
G               D
I don't want to be
           A                                    E
Anything other that what I've been trying to be lately
G             D
All I have to do
           A                      E
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
(start strumming again)
G                     D
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
            A
Wondering what I've got to do
             E
Or who I'm supposed to be
G         D           A                E
I don't want to be anything other than me
G          D      A  E
I don't want to be
