[Bb]
Whether I'm right or whether I'm
[F]
[Cm] Whether I find a [F] place in this world [Bb] or never belong
I [Eb] gotta be me, [F] I [Eb] gotta be [Fm] me
What [Eb] else [Gm] can I be but what [Eb] I am?
[F]
[Bb] I just want to live, not [G] merely survive
[F]
[C] And I [F] won't give up the dream of life [Bb] that keeps me [Eb] alive
I [Dm] gotta be me, I [Cm] gotta [Eb] be me
[F]
The [Cm] dream that [F] I [Cm] see makes [Bb] me [Eb] what [Bb] I am
That [Cm] faraway [D] prize, the [Gm] world of success
It's [Eb] waiting [F] for me if [Am] I'll heed the call
[Gm]
I [Eb] won't settle down [Dm] or settle for [Gm] less
As long as there's a chance [Cm] [Eb] I [Dm] can have it [Bb] all
[Eb] If [F] that's how it must [Cm] be, I [F] can't be right
[Bb] If I'm not right for me, [Eb] I gotta be free
[Dm] I gotta [Eb] be [Dm] free
[Eb] Daring to [Dm] try to do [Cm] it or die
[Bb] I'm gonna be [Gb] me, I'll go [B] it all on
[Em] If that's how it [Gb] must be, [E] I can't [Gb] be right
If [B] I'm not right for me, I gotta [E] be free
[Ebm] And I'm gonna [E] be [Ebm] free
Daring [E] to try [Gb] to do [E] it [Dbm] or die
[E] [B] [E] I gotta be [B] me
