C Am D G

[Verse 1]

C                            Am
I'm not perfect I'm just who I am

G
Is that ok?

C                          Am
Perfect's overdone and overplanned

G
In the modern age

C
Still you say you know what's best

Am              G
I disagree but I know less so

C                                Am
Then that leaves us back where we began

G
Your way

F                      G
And if you were me you'd do

Am                   D
Everything you wanted to

F                    G
Well I've got news for you...


[Chorus]

C         D               Em            F
Everybody loves to tell me who and what to be

C           D               Em                 F
More of what they always want and less and less of me

              Am                 G
I don't give a damn what they all say

       C               F
I'm not here to save the day

     Am             G        C
I may lose it but I'll do it My Way



[Verse 2]

C                                      Am   G
Friends and teachers heads of state and fools all say

C                              Am
"Lay it down and play it by the rules"

G
Their way

F                     G
But if they all know so well

Am                 D
Why can no one ever tell?

F                   G
And they ask why we rebel...


[Chorus]

C         D               Em            F
Everybody loves to tell me who and what to be

C           D               Em                 F
More of what they always want and less and less of me

              Am                 G
I don't give a damn what they all say

       C               F
I'm not here to save the day

     Am             G        C
I may lose it but I'll do it My Way



[Verse 3]

N.C
Everybody wants to prove to the world they got it figured out
N.C
Be somebody with the nerve to admit it when it's all in doubt
N.C
In the end it's not pretend it's what the world's about


[Chorus]

C         D               Em            F
Everybody loves to tell me who and what to be

C           D               Em                 F
More of what they always want and less and less of me

              Am                 G
I don't give a damn what they all say

       C               F
I'm not here to save the day

     Am             G        C
I may lose it but I'll do it My Way


     Am             G        C
I may lose it but I'll do it My Way
