   Life has come a long way since yesterday I say
And its not the same old thing over again I say
Just do what you feel and don't you fool yourself I say
Cause I can't make you happy unless I am I say I say I

[Chorus]
A                E
Got to be true to myself
Bm                D
Got to be true to myself (x2)

[Verse]

Only to find the truth it never changes I say 
If you don't deal with it it keeps killing you a little by little I say
Call me selfish if you will my life I alone can live I say I say I 

[Chorus]
A                E
Got to be true to myself
Bm                D

I too have shed my share of tears 
I'm moving on, yes I'm grooving on, well I'm finally free I've 

[Chorus]
A                E
Got to be true to myself
Bm                D
Got to be true to myself (x2)
