I love this song and when I went to search for tabs, I could find any totally correct
ones. I worked this out from the piano only version that appears on Gavin's website....
If there's any corrections needed let me know.

INTRO: C7   Bb (repeat)

VERSE 1:

C7                    Bb    C7
I don't need to be anything other
                          Bb
Than a prison guard's son
C7                    Bb    C7
I don't need to be anything other 
                       Bb
Than a specialist's son
C7                    Bb    C7
I don't have to be anything other
                       Bb
Than the birth of two souls in one
C7                    Bb C                    Bb
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from


CHORUS:

Ab      Eb                  Bb                        Cm7          Bb 
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately  
Ab    Eb                     Bb                     Cm7     Bb 
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind. 
Ab           Eb                            Bb 
I'm tired of looking round rooms wondering what I gotta do 
   Cm7        Bb            
Or who I'm supposed to be. 
Ab      Eb                 Bb          Cm7 
I don't want to be anything other than me
 
 
VERSE 2:

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned

BRIDGE:

Gm7                        Gm7/C      Gm7  Gm7/C
Can I have everyone's attention please 
Gm7                         Gm7/C
See, not like this and that 
Gm7                         Cm-Bb-Adim7 (or bass only for the C-Bb)
You're gonna have to leave                         
                   Cm-Bb-Adim7                  Cm-Bb-Adim7   
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation 
                             Eb                        
My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone 
    F
And now I'm telling everybody

CHORUS TO END
