You think you've got me pegged,

F G
Because I really don't appreciate it,
Chorus:
Am
Do you mind,

If I'm just me?
G Am G
So what if I do everything a little bit imperfectly?
Am
What do you care?
Am G

G F
When you get it straight
F G
That you can't make me anything you want me to be
G Am
Because that's not me
Am F G
(I'm an individual)
verse 2:

This world can get you down
F Am
It's always stumping

F F
But now I say good-bye
F G
Because I think i had enough
Chorus:

Do you mind,

If I'm just me?
