I Am What I Am

D


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


[Pre-Chorus]
       D                Em        
Well I know that I have got a job 
   F#
to do,
      D     Dm      Em           
And I know, that my job is 
   F#
pleasing you, but...


[Chorus]
            D
I am what I am,
    F#      Bm           F#
The way god made me.
            D        F#
I am what I am,
              Bm              F#
Don't try and change me.

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


[Pre-Chorus]
       D                Em        
Well I know that I have got a job 
   F#
to do,
       D            Em         
As you say, that my job revolves 
         F#
around you, but...


[Chorus]
            D
I am what I am,
    F#      Bm          F#
The way god made me.
            D      F#
I am what I am,
              Bm           F#
Don't try and change me.
            D      F#
I am what I am,
            Bm           F#
The way god made me.
            D
I am what I am,
      F#      Bm          F#
Don't try and change me.
                               D
Change, change, change, change me.
