F


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

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

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

F                      Bb                            
I never could be happy if I were just your puppet on 
  F                   Dm
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                    
Now don't misunderstand me, I want to be a man that 
          F
makes you proud
F                                  Bb                
I ain't ashamed to show how much I love you every way
             F
 that I know how
Bb                                                   
I can make concessions but don't ask me to bend until
   F     Dm
 I break
           Bb              C            F
'Cause you really wouldn't want me that way
Bb                                             
Don't ask me tomorrow to become someone I wasn't 
  F          Dm
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
