[Verse 1]
F#            C#       F#            C#
i could never find the power to love
F#                C#     G#           C#
voice of reasons' always giving up on me
F#            C#       F#            C#
i could never find the power to leave
F#                C#     G#               C#
fear of change is always catching up with me

[Pre-Chorus]
F#              C#       F#           C#
it's over again and it's started again
F#               C#       G#             C#
swear i hurt you with the best intentions
F#                  C#       F#           C#
and it's over again and it's started again
F#                  C#       G#          C#
swear my conscience needs an intervention

[Chorus]
F#        C#                        G#
i've been trying to change myself again (i try, i try, i try)
F#        C#                       G#
won't you please just take me as i am (i am, i am, i am)

[Verse 2]
F#            C#       F#          C#
i could never find the power to lie
F#          C#      G#                   C#
even when i did the guilt would catch my eye
F#            C#       F#          C#
i could never find the power to see
F#                C#       G#                 C#
all the blessings that had been shone down on me

[Pre-Chorus]
F#              C#       F#           C#
it's over again and it's started again
F#               C#       G#             C#
swear i hurt you with the best intentions
F#                  C#       F#           C#
and it's over again and it's started again
F#                  C#       G#          C#
swear my conscience needs an intervention

[Chorus]
F#        C#                        G#
i've been trying to change myself again (i try, i try, i try)
F#        C#                       G#
won't you please just take me as i am (i am, i am, i am)

F#        C#                        G#
i've been trying to change myself again (i try, i try, i try)
F#        C#                       G#
won't you please just take me as i am (i am, i am, i am)

[Bridge]
F#
and we're strangers again
                          C#
yeah we're strangers again
A#
seeing everyone through clouds of emotion
F#
and we're strangers again
                          C#
yeah we're strangers again
A#
breaking everything but all in slow motion

[Instrumental]
F# C# A# F# C# A#

won't you please just take me as i am

F#        C#                        G#
i've been trying to change myself again (i try, i try, i try)
F#        C#                       G#
won't you please just take me as i am (i am, i am, i am)

F#        C#                        G#
i've been trying to change myself again (i try, i try, i try)

[Outro]
F#            C#       F#           C#
i could never find the power to know
F#                C#     G#       C#
guess i'll figure it out on my own
