verse 1]
 F#5             C#5
They can play let's pretend
 Eb5                 B5               F#5
Make out like their my best friend
 C#5             Eb5    B5
Telling their lies
               F#5           C#5
and they can scheme behind my back
 Eb5           B5
Make fiction out of facts
 F#5       C#5          Eb5    B5
Try to re-write my life
     Eb5   C#5           F#5
But they ain't got a clue
   B5                 Eb5
If I were in their shoes
     C#5          Ab5
I'd shut right up(up,up)

[chorus]
  F#5      C#5   Eb5
Take me as I am
    B5      F#5
Or not at all
         C#5           Eb5               B5
I ain't ever gonna change myself for no one
F#5   C#5     Eb5
No compromise
       B5       Ab5
Cause its my life
      C#5
It's all or nothing

[verse 2]
 F#5              C#5
They can laugh all they like
Eb5              B5       F#5
got no need to justify
  C#5        Eb5
I am who I am
             F#5              C#5
And they can do their worst if they dare
        Eb5              B5             F#5
If it makes them happy we don't care
      C#5             Eb5    B5
It's out of their hands
        Eb5  C#5            F#5
Cause they ain't got a clue
    B5                 Eb5
If we were in their shoes
       C#5         Ab5
We'd shut right up(up,up)
