"Let Me Be"
(P.F. Sloan)
Intro:
D A D6 E [2X; 12-string enters 2nd time]
/ / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
PlDease don't mistEake me Dor try to mEake me
The shDadow of aEnybody eAlse
DI ain't the hEim or hDer you think I Eam
I'm just tDrying hEard to be mysAelf
Though socEiety's goal is to be pAart of the whole
That may soDund good to you, not to Eme
Chorus:
Let me Abe, let me be
To tDhink like I wEant to
Let me Abe, let me be
That's aDll I ask Eof you
D C#m Bm [1,2: repeat intro 3: to coda]
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Verse 2:
Don't try to plan me or understand me
I can't stand to be understood
I could never give in to or ever live up to
Being like you think I should
I've got some inner need that I'm tryin' to heed
I can't take hand-me-down destiny
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
Don't try to change me or rearrange me
To satisfy the selfishness in you
I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day
And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move
I'm sorry I ain't the fool you thought would play by your rules
A to-each-is-own philosophy
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
(...Abe)
I said that's aDll I eEver can Abe [repeat to fade]
