Love Me For What I Am
(Carpenters)
We fell in [F#]love
On the [G#]first night that we met
[Fm]Together we've been happy
I [Bbm]have very few regrets
[F#]The ordinary problems
[Fm]Have not been hard to face
But [Bbm]lately little [F#]changes
Have been [G#sus4]slowly taking [G#]place
You're al[Fm]ways finding
[Bbm]Something is [F#]wrong in what I [G#7sus-G#7]do
But you [Fm]can't rear[Bbm]range my life
Be[F#]cause it pleases you[G#]
Chorus:
[F#]You've [G#]got [F#]to [C#]love me for what [G#]I am
For [Bbm]simply being me
Don't [F#]love me for what you intend
Or [G#sus4]hope that I will [G#]be
[Fm]And if you're only using me
To [C]feed your [Fm]fantasy
[Bbm]You're really not in love
So let me [F#]go,[G#sus] I [G#]must be [C#]free
If what you [F#]want
Isn't [G#]natural for me
[Fm]I won't pretend to keep you
What I [Bbm]am, I have to be
[F#]The picture of perfection
[Fm]Is only on your mind
For [Bbm]all your expec[F#]tations
Love can ne[G#sus]ver be de[G#]signed
We ei[Fm]ther take each o[Bbm]ther
For [F#]everything we [G#7sus-G#7]are
Or [Fm]leave the life we've [Bbm]made behind
And [F#]make anoth[G#]er start
