C5                                D5                             
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong 
          G5                                    C5 
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong 
              F5   G5                F5     G5 
I've gotta be me      I've gotta be me 
                F5    C5         D5      G5 
What else can I be, but what I am 
           C5                   D5 
I want to live,  not merely survive 
          G5                                       C5 
And won't give up this dream of life that keeps me alive 
              F5    G5                     F5     G5 
I've gotta be me      -     I've gotta be me 
                  F5        D5     C5 
The dream that I see makes what I am 
                E5                        A5 
That far away prize   -   A world of success 
               D5        G5       C5 
Is waiting for me, if I heed the call 
                A5                        B5 
I won't settle down,    won't settle for less 
            A5                                  D5     G5    
As long as there's a chance  that I can have it all 
               C5                        D5 
I'll go it alone ,  That's how it must be 
             G5                                         C5 
I can't be right for somebody else if I'm not right for me 
                F5    G5                     F5      G5 
I've gotta be free     -    I've gotta be free 
           F5               A5         G5      C5      A5 
Daring to try to do it or die, I've gotta be me. 
             C#5                      D#5 
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be 
            G#5                                        C#5 
I can't be right for somebody else if I'm not right for me 
               F#5    G#5                     F#5        G#5 
I've gotta be free       -    I've gotta be free 
           F#5             A#5        F#5     C#5 
Daring to try to do it or die, I've gotta be me.
