[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ la la la
love me, _ [D] but please don't deceive me
[F#m] say you love me [Gm] how I am
[D] you love the [Bm] way I fit some [F#m] idea
not the real [D] woman you've yet to _ understand _ _
[E] She ain't loving or [G] having [Dm] and I am [F] no angel _
But I do the best I [G] can
[D] You always wanted something [F#] more from my body
[Bm] You said you needed [F#] something more [E] from my [G#] loving
[A]
That's [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _
all [Bm] that I can be
I'm sorry [F#m] if it let you [G] down _

[Gm] _ _ [D] Now it's no nice excuse but all the magic [F#m] was used [D] up on trying to uphold
_ _ Some kind of tame flattering persona that soon enough was getting [A#] real low
[D] _ _ _ [C] [E] It takes more than [Gm] pressure to change rock to diamond
[F] _ Now all you have is sand slipping through your fingers
[D] You always wanted something more [E] from my [F#] [F#m] body
_ You said you needed something [E] more from my [D] loving
[G#] _ _ [Dm] [D] But _ that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it [A] let you [C#m] down _
[A#] But [Bm] I'm not gonna sit [F] around and [Em] waste my precious [G] divine energy
Trying to [D] explain and being ashamed [Em] of things you think [G] are wrong with me
[Bm] I'm not gonna sit around [F] and [Am] waste my [Bm] precious divine [G] energy
Trying to [Gm] explain and [D] being ashamed of what you [G] think is wrong [A] with _ _ me
[D] _
_ _ _ _ No, [F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] I'm not _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ You [Gm] say I set you [D] up like I was different than what I am offering
And I [E] let you down, [Gm] you say I let you [D] down
And drug your heart around, [Dm] did you forget about
All of [Em] the love and the [D] acceptance that you promised [A] me _ _ [D] You _ _ _

[Bm] _ You said you needed something [E] more from my loving
_ [F#m] [Dm] But that's [D] _ _ all [G] that I can be
I'm sorry if it [A] let you _ [C#m] _ [C] down
[Bm] But I'm not gonna sit [A#] around and waste [Am] my precious [Bm] divine energy
[G] Trying to [D] explain and being ashamed [Em] of what [G] you think is wrong [A] with me
I'm not [Bm] gonna sit [F] around and waste [Em] my [Bm] precious divine [G] energy
