Verse:
    D MajorD         A augmentedA    B minorBm
Looking at me, through the eye of a needle,
   D MajorD  A augmentedA    B minorBm
Is a scary thing to do.
     D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm       D MajorD      A augmentedA   B minorBm
I feel a mole hill lies in front of me, to climb.
    D MajorD    A augmentedA    B minorBm
Is your primary purpose in life,
     D MajorD     A augmentedA  B minorBm
To scrutinize every move I make?
       D MajorD   A augmentedA     B minorBm        D MajorD    A augmentedA   B minorBm
'cause if it is, I think your wasting precious time.

Pre-Chorus:
    D MajorD        E minorEm      F#F#
Well I know that I have got a job to do,
   D MajorD   DmDm   E minorEm       F#F#
And I know, that my job is pleasing you, but...


Chorus:
      D MajorD
I am what I am,
  F#F#   B minorBm      F#F#
The way god made me.
      D MajorD    F#F#
I am what I am,
       B minorBm       F#F#
Don't try and change me.


Verse:
    D MajorD   A augmentedA    B minorBm
Well I know I have my weaknessess,
    D MajorD     A augmentedA   B minorBm
As you point them out to me.
      D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm       D MajorD    A augmentedA   B minorBm
But I'll confront the spots of doubt as they arise.
   D MajorD    A augmentedA  B minorBm
Never born to be a leader,
     D MajorD    A augmentedA     B minorBm
But I'll take my role with pride.
     D MajorD    A augmentedA    B minorBm       D MajorD    A augmentedA   B minorBm
'cause a soldier with his honours, lies inside.

Pre-Chorus:
    D MajorD        E minorEm      F#F#
Well I know that I have got a job to do,
    D MajorD      E minorEm         F#F#
As you say, that my job revolves around you, but...


Chorus:
      D MajorD
I am what I am,
  F#F#   B minorBm     F#F#
The way god made me.
      D MajorD   F#F#
I am what I am,
       B minorBm      F#F#
Don't try and change me.
      D MajorD   F#F#
I am what I am,
      B minorBm      F#F#
The way god made me.
      D MajorD
I am what I am,
   F#F#   B minorBm     F#F#
Don't try and change me.

Change, change, change, change me.
