Chorus:

C               F    
I don't know my name
Am                  C            G
I don't play by the rules of the game
       C            F            Am     G
So you say I'm just trying, just trying


     C                F
So I heard you are my sister's friend 
    C               G
You get along quite nicely
    C            F
You ask me why I cut my hair 
    C                  G
And changed my self completely 



Chorus:

C               F
I don't know my name
Am                  C            G
I don't play by the rules of the game
       C            F            Am     G
So you say I'm just trying, just trying


  C                   F
I went from bland and popular 
   C                    G
To joining the marching band
  C                F
I made the closest friends
          C          G
I'll ever have in my lifetime


Bridge:

C          Am                     G
  I'm lost    trying to get found 
               C      G
In an ocean of people
                        Am        
Please don't ask me any    questions 
            G                             
There won't be a valid answer
          Am
I'll just say that 


Chorus:

C               F
I don't know my name
Am                  C            G
I don't play by the rules of the game
       C            F            Am     G
So you say I'm just trying, just trying


Outro:

C             F
I now know my name
Am                  C            G
I don't play by the rules of the game
       C           F               Am     G
So you say I'm not trying, but I'm trying
               C
To find my way

This is in fact the original key. Her ukulele is tuned down a half step from standard tuning and the capo on the first fret brings it back up to standard tuning. You can prove this to yourself by playing along without a capo even though she uses one. The down tuning and the capo cancel each other out. She is a clever girl. She doesn't play by the rules of the game. Happy strumming.
