Intro: D5
       D5  C5 (2x)

 D5
Love me or leave me, but please don't deceive me
     C5
And say you'll love me how i am
              D5
You love the way i fit some ideal,
                           C5
Not the real woman you've yet to understand
      G#5                       G5
See, love ain't all heaven, and i am no angel
 C5                     A5
But i do the best i can

Refr?o:
            D5                            F#5
You always wanted something more from my body
     B5                                E5
And said you needed something more from my lovin'
    Bb5          D5               F#5        B5
But all you got was me and that's all that i can be,
     E5     A5         D5
I'm sorry if it let you down

Interl?dio 2x: D5  C5

          D5                                                C5
Now it's no nice excuse, but all the magic was used up on trying to uphold
              D5
Some kind of tame, flattering persona that
                 C5
Soon enough was getting real old
    G#5                          G5                 C5
It takes more than pressure to change rock to diamond,
                                                       A5
Now all you have is sand slipping through your fingers

Refr?o:
            D5                            F#5
You always wanted something more from my body
     B5                                E5
And said you needed something more from my lovin'
    Bb5          D5               F#5        B5
But all you got was me and that's all that i can be,
     E5     A5         D5  C#5
I'm sorry if it let you down

 C5      B5                 Bb5            A5            Ab5
But i'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
  G5                   F#5     E5                         A#5
Tryin' to explain and being ashamed of things you think are wrong with me
         B5                 Bb5            A5            Ab5
But i'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
  G5                   F#5     E5
Tryin' to explain and being ashamed of things you think are wrong with me

Interl?dio 2x: D5  C5

 E5              G5
Set you up, you say i set you up
        D5                        B5          B5
Like i was different than what i am offering you now
 E5                G5
Let you down, you say i let you down
           D5
And drove your heart around
         F5                E5
Did you forget about all the love
                         Ab5
And the acceptance that you promised me too?

Tryin' to explain and being ashamed of things you think are wrong with me
