[B]
We fell in love [Bbm] on [B] the [Ab] first night that we met
[B] [Ab] Together we've been happy, I [Bbm] have very few regrets
The [G] ordinary [Bbm] [C] problems [Fm] have not been odd to face
[Bbm] But lately [Eb] little changes [Ebm] have been slowly taking [Ab] place
[F] You're always [Bbm] finding something [Ab] is [Gb]
wrong in what [Db] I do
[Fm] But you can't [Bbm] rearrange my life [Ebm] because it pleases [Gb] you
[Ab]
You've got to [Db] love [Ab] me for what I am, [Bbm] for simply being me
[Ebm] To love me for what you intend, a [Ab] hope that I will be
[Fm] And if you're only using me [Cm] to feed your [F] fallacy
[Bbm] You're really not in [Eb]
love, so let me [Ebm] go
[Ab] I must [Db] be free
[Gb] [Db] If what [Bb] you [Gb] want [Ab] isn't natural for me
I won't pretend to keep you, what [Bbm] I am I have to be
The [G] picture of [Db] [C] perfection [Fm] is only in your mind
[Db] For all your [Eb] expectations love [Ebm] can never be [Ab] designed
[F] We either take [Bbm] each other [Gb] for everything [Db] we are
[Fm] Or leave the life [Bbm] we've made behind [Ebm] and make another [Ab]
start
[Ebm] [Ab] You've [Db] got to love me [Fm] for what I [Bbm] am, for simply being me
[Ebm] To love me for what you intend, [Db] [Ab] a hope that I will be
[Fm] And if you're only using me [Cm] to feed your [F] fallacy
