[verse 1]
 C5             G5
They can play let's pretend
 A5                 F5               C5
Make out like their my best friend
 G5             A5    F5
Telling their lies
               C5           G5
and they can scheme behind my back
 A5           F5
Make fiction out of facts
 C5       G5          A5    F5
Try to re-write my life
     A5   G5           C5
But they ain't got a clue
   F5                 A5
If I were in their shoes
     G5          D5
I'd shut right up(up,up)

[chorus]
  C5      G5   A5
Take me as I am
    F5      C5
Or not at all
         G5           A5               F5
I ain't ever gonna change myself for no one
C5   G5     A5
No compromise
       F5       D5
Cause its my life
      G5
It's all or nothing

[verse 2]
 C5              G5
They can laugh all they like
A5              F5       C5
got no need to justify
  G5        A5
I am who I am
             C5              G5
And they can do their worst if they dare
        A5              F5             C5
If it makes them happy we don't care
      G5             A5    F5
It's out of their hands
        A5  G5            C5
Cause they ain't got a clue
    F5                 A5
If we were in their shoes
       G5         D5
We'd shut right up(up,up)
