[Abm]
We fell [Ebm] in love [Bbm]
on [Ab] the first night that we met
[B] [Ab] Together we've been happy, I [Bbm] have very few regrets
The [G] ordinary [C] problems [Fm] have not been hard to face
[Bbm] But lately little [Eb] changes have [Ebm] been slowly taking [Ab] place
[F] You're always [Bbm] finding something [Db] is [Gb] wrong in what [Db] I do
[Fm] But you can't [Bbm] rearrange my [Ebm] life because it pleases [Ab] you
You've got to [Db] love me [Ab] for what I [Bbm] am for simply being me
[Ebm] Don't love me for what you intend, [Ab] I hope that I will be
[Fm] And if you're only using me [Cm] to feed your [F] malice
[Bbm] You're really not in love, so [Eb] let me [Ebm] go, [Ab] I must [Db] be free
[Gb]
[Db] If what [Gb] you want [Ab] isn't natural for me
I won't pretend to keep you, [Fm] what [Bbm] I am I have to be
The picture of perfection [C]
[Fm] is only in your mind
[Bbm] For all your [Eb] expectations love can [Ebm] 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
You've got [Db] to love me [Fm] for what I [Bbm] am for simply being me
[Ebm] Don't love me for what you intend, [Ab] I hope that I will be
[Fm] And if you're only using me [Cm] to feed your [F]
malice
[Bbm] You're really not in love, so [Ebm] let me go, I [Ab] must be free
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm]
[Ebm] And
[Ab]
[Fm] if you're only using me [Cm] to feed your [F] fantasy
[Bbm] You're really not in [Db] love, so let me [Gb] go, I [Ab] must [Eb] be free
[Ab] [Db]
[F] You're
[Bbm] really not [Eb] in love, [Db] so let [Ebm] me go, [Abm] I must [Db] be free
