Take Me Like I Am

E B E


[Verse 1]
E                         C#m  B
I'm a-livin' on the other side 
                 E
of the track it's true.
E
But like it or not, I'm just as good
 as you.
E                             A   
If I see you comin' with your head
 C#m     E
 held so high..
E                                 
don't you worry 'bout me speaking,
      B
 I'll pass you right
   E
on by.


[Chorus]
E                                 
This world is full of money but I 
B             E
haven't got a dime.
E
Had a million heart-aches but I'm 
happy all the time.
E                           A    
I can be like a tiger or as meek 
     E
as a lamb.
Continues after the ad
E                  C#m           
If you want to get along with me 
       B              E
you'll take me like I am.

[Verse 2]
E                           
You can talk about your fancy 
          B               E
friends and your millionaires.
E
I may not have their money but I 
don't have their cares.
E                             A  
You can live in a mansion set 
           E
upon a golden throne.
E                              
But all these things you have in 
                 B
life are gonna vanish when
    E
I'm gone.


[Chorus]
E                                 
This world is full of money but I 
B             E
haven't got a dime.
E
Had a million heart-aches but I'm 
happy all the time.
E                           A    
I can be like a tiger or as meek 
     E
as a lamb.
E                  C#m           
If you want to get along with me 
       B              E
you'll take me like I am.
