[Intro]

D


[Verse]
        D                  A        BmLooking at me, through the eye of a needle,
      D    A        BmIs a scary thing to do.
         D         A       Bm              D            A      BmI feel a mole hill lies in front of me, to climb.
        D       A       BmIs your primary purpose in life,
         D          A    BmTo scrutinize every move I make?
             D     A          Bm               D        A     Bm'cause if it is, I think your wasting precious time.


[Pre-Chorus]
       D                Em           F#Well I know that I have got a job to do,
      D     Dm      Em              F#And I know, that my job is pleasing you, but...


[Chorus]
            DI am what I am,
    F#      Bm           F#The way god made me.
            D        F#I am what I am,
              Bm              F#Don't try and change me.


[Verse]
       D      A       BmWell I know I have my weaknessess,
       D          A      BmAs you point them out to me.
            D         A        Bm             D        A      BmBut I'll confront the spots of doubt as they arise.
      D       A    BmNever born to be a leader,
         D       A         BmBut I'll take my role with pride.
         D       A        Bm              D        A      Bm'cause a soldier with his honours, lies inside.


[Pre-Chorus]
       D                Em           F#Well I know that I have got a job to do,
       D            Em                  F#As you say, that my job revolves around you, but...


[Chorus]
            DI am what I am,
    F#      Bm          F#The way god made me.
            D      F#I am what I am,
              Bm           F#Don't try and change me.
            D      F#I am what I am,
            Bm           F#The way god made me.
            DI am what I am,
      F#      Bm          F#Don't try and change me.
