Merle Haggard - I cant be myself

^CIt's a way of mine to ^G7say just what I'm ^Cthinking And to do the things I ^G7really want to ^Cdo

And ^Fyou want to change the part of me ^CI'm proud of So I can't be ^G7myself when I'm with ^Cyou

Oh you never liked the ^G7clothes I wear on ^CSunday Just because I don't ^G7believe the way you ^Cdo

But ^FI believe the Lord knows I'm ^Cunhappy Cause I can't be ^G7myself when I'm with ^Cyou ^C7

^FI can't be myself and be what ^Cpleases you And ^Fdown deep inside I ^Cdon't believe that you ^G7want me to

And ^Fit's not my way to take so long ^Cdeciding That I can't be ^G7myself when I'm with ^Cyou

^FI can't be myself and be what ^Cpleases you And ^Fdown deep inside I ^Cdon't believe that you ^G7want me to

And ^Fit's not my way to take so long ^Cdeciding That I can't be ^G7myself when I'm with ^Cyou
