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

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

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