F


[Verse 1]
F                            Bb                            F
I know I'm far from perfect, too set in my ways for my own good
F                                      Bb                                     F
And there's other things about me you think you'd like to change if you just could
  Bb                                                       F        Dm
I could let you shape me, mold me like a potter's piece of clay
        Bb              C             F
But you really wouldn't want me that way

[Verse 2]
F                                    Bb                               F
It's a crazy world we live in and it keeps on getting tougher all the time
F                                       Bb                            F
You say you wish I wouldn't let life's troubles weigh so heavy on my mind
     Bb                                                                  F      Dm
When things are wrong I guess that I could smile pretending everything's okay
         Bb              C            F
But you really wouldn't want me that way


Eb                                   Bb                          F
I'm just the man I've always been, I don't know how to be nobody else
      Eb                          Bb                             C
And a man can only change so much till he becomes a shadow of himself


F                      Bb                              F                   Dm
I never could be happy if I were just your puppet on a string, yes I could change
        Bb              C             Dm
But you really wouldn't want me that way
    Bb              C            F
you really wouldn't want me that way

[Verse 3]

    F                         Bb                              F
Now don't misunderstand me, I want to be a man that makes you proud
F                                  Bb                             F
I ain't ashamed to show how much I love you every way that I know how
Bb                                                      F     Dm
I can make concessions but don't ask me to bend until I break
           Bb              C            F
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way
Bb                                               F          Dm
Don't ask me tomorrow to become someone I wasn't yesterday
          Bb               C            Dm
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way
       Bb              C            F
No you really wouldn't want me that way
