7    8    7 -6   -6  -6 7   -6    5 
 Don't go changing to try to please me, 
 5  -5 6    5 4   4   -4  5 
 You never let me down before. 
 5     5  -4    4     5  6 -7 7 
 Don't imagine you're too familiar 
 -6 -6  -7    7   -8 -7-6  6 
 And I don't see you any more. 
 7   7     8   7   -6  -6  -6   7 -6  5 
 I would not leave you in time of trouble. 
 5  5  5    5    -4   4   -4    5 
 We never could have come this far. 
 5  5    5   -4    4     4    5    6  -7    7 
 I took the good times, I'll take the bad times.

 I'll take you just the way you are. 
 Refrain:

 I need to know that you will always be 
 4   -5   -6   6 -5     5  -4    5 
 The same old someone that  I  knew. 
 7    7    7    8  -8   7  -7  -7 -6  -8 7 
 Oh, what will it take til you belive in me 
 5  -6   7  -7  -6 6   -5  6 
 The way that I believe in you. 
 7   7  8   7  -6   4  -6     7 -6 5 
 I said I love you and that's forever, 
 5    -5  6   5  4    4  -4    5 
 And this I promise from the heart. 
 5   -4   4  -4    4  5 6  -7 7 
 I could not love you any better. 
 -6 -6  -7   7   -8  -6  -7   7 
 I love you just the way you are. 
 (I want you just the way you are.) 

(verse 2)
 Don't go trying some new fashion. 
 Don't change the color of your hair. 
 You always have my unspoken passion, 
 Although I might not seem to care. 
 I don't want clever conversation, 
 I never want to work that hard. 
 I just want someone that I can talk to, 
 I want you just the way you are
