Love Me For What I Am
(Carpenters)
We fell in F#love
On the G#first night that we met
FmTogether we've been happy
I Bbmhave very few regrets
F#The ordinary problems
FmHave not been hard to face
But Bbmlately little F#changes
Have been G#sus4slowly taking G#place
You're alFmways finding
Bbm F# G#7sus-G#7
Something is wrong in what I do
But you Fmcan't rearBbmrange my life
BeF#cause it pleases you G#
Chorus:
F#You've G#got F#to C#love me for what G#I am
For Bbmsimply being me
Don't F#love me for what you intend
Or G#sus4hope that I will G#be
FmAnd if you're only using me
To Cfeed your Fmfantasy
BbmYou're really not in love
So let me F#go,G#sus I G#must be C#free
If what you F#want
Isn't G#natural for me
FmI won't pretend to keep you
What I Bbmam, I have to be
F#The picture of perfection
FmIs only on your mind
For Bbmall your expecF#tations
Love can neG#susver be deG#signed
We eiFmther take each oBbmther
F# G#7sus-G#7
For everything we are
Or Fmleave the life we've Bbmmade behind
And F#make anothG#er start
