D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE

D MajorD        E MajorE    D MajorD     E MajorE
Please don't mistake me, or try to make me
  D MajorD     E MajorE    A augmentedA
The shadow of anybody else
D MajorD      E MajorE   D MajorD        E MajorE
I ain't the him or her you think I am
     D MajorD   E MajorE      A augmentedA
I'm just trying hard to be myself
  E MajorE            A augmentedA
Oh, society's goal is to be part of the whole
     D MajorD             E MajorE
That may sound good to you, not to me

    A augmentedA
Let me be, let me be
  D MajorD      E MajorE
To think like I want to
    A augmentedA
Let me be, let me be
    D MajorD     E MajorE
That's all I ask of you

I am what I am and that's all I ever can be

D MajorD      E MajorE    D MajorD    E MajorE
Don't try to plan me or understand me
 D MajorD   E MajorE        A augmentedA
I can't stand to be understood
D MajorD         E MajorE   D MajorD      E MajorE
I could never give in to or ever live up to
   D MajorD    E MajorE    A augmentedA
Being like you think I should
     E MajorE             A augmentedA
I've got some inner need which I'm trying to heed
    D MajorD           E MajorE
I can't take hand me down destiny

    A augmentedA
Let me be, let me be
  D MajorD      E MajorE

D MajorD      E MajorE     D MajorD   E MajorE
Don't try to change me or rearrange me
  D MajorD  E MajorE           A augmentedA
To satisfy the selfishness of you
D MajorD     E MajorE        D MajorD            E MajorE
I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day
    D MajorD   E MajorE           A augmentedA
And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move
       D MajorD               E MajorE
I'm sorry I'm not the fool you thought would play by your rules
    D MajorD    E MajorE      A augmentedA
But to each his own philosophy

    A augmentedA
Let me be, let me be
  D MajorD      E MajorE
To think like I want to
    A augmentedA
Let me be, let me be
    D MajorD     E MajorE
That's all I ask of you
 D MajorD            C# minorC#m  B minorBm    A augmentedA
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
       D MajorD   E MajorE    A augmentedA
I said that's all I ever can be 3x
