C                 F              C
Grew up in LA and I like to play baseball
    C                  F                   G
I'm five years old and I don't have hardly anything at all
            Am                   G  
Except this little blue hat that goes with the bat
        F                 C         F      G
That my Momma gave me the very last time I saw her
  C                      F               C
I live with a family and they don't even know I'm there
      C                 F                    G 
I can go for a walk ten city blocks and they don't even care
       Am                    G 
I have imaginary friends who I pretend 
      F                       C
Would play baseball 'till the very end
F                   G
Of the day, aww but thats ok


(chorus)
            F 
Thats who I am
            C
Thats all I have
              G 
Thats where I stand
                    Am
And thats where I'm at
                 F     G 
Well thats all I have
            C
Thats who I am


(verse)
C                   F                  C
Moved in with a new family that had an older son
   C                             F
He became my big brother we were best friends with each other
   G
We played ball till the setting sun
        Am
Then he had to go to war
      G
And I didn't know what for
  F 
I asked him not to go
      C
As he walked out the door
   F               G
He said to me oh I have to leave


(chorus)
            F 
Thats who I am
            C
Thats all I have
              G 
Thats where I stand
                    Am
And thats where I'm at
                 F     G 
Well thats all I have
            C
Thats who I am

(verse)
  C                  F            C
A year went by and I tried not to think of him at all
                       F
But on Christmas Eve I started to believe
            G
There was a knock at my bedroom door
            Am             G
He said I'm not going back to Iraq
      F                        C
And I want you to know exactly where I'm at
      F                    G 
Cause theres no other like me big brother



(chorus)
            F 
Thats who I am
            C
Thats all I have
              G 
Thats where I stand
                    Am
And thats where I'm at
                F     G 
And thats all I have
            Am
Thats who I am
            F    G
Thats all I have
            C  F  C,   C
Thats who I am
