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
[Instrumental]
Eb Bb F Eb Bb C F C
[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
