The Way I Am

Intro: D G D    G D 


 
G   D              G               D 
I'm sorry, baby, I really tried to change 
                  A/C#      Bm           F#m  D 
It's like there's somethin' broken in my brain 
    G             D           Bm     A    G   E/G# 
The more I try to fix it, the less I understand 
    A                                D 
But you still love me just the way I am 
 

 
D                        G            D 
Yeah, I know it's always mostly me to blame 
      Bm               G               A 
But I can't outrun the wild that's in my veins 
D/F#  G             D              Bm     A         G 
I'm a walkin' contradiction, but a well-intentioned man 
   A                                D 
So you still love me just the way I am 
 

 
A                         Bm             A         G               D 
You know that you are the damnedest most beautiful thing I've ever seen 
A              F#     Bm         A              E 
You could have had anyone in the world that you wanted 
               Em7 A 
But you wanted me 
 

 
  D                  G                D 
I swear the world is spinnin' way too fast 
                 A/C#     Bm              F#m D 
'Cause I'm still learnin' lessons from my past 
        G               D/F#    Bm         A          G  E 
And sometimes I let the moments slip right through my hands 
    A                                D 
But you still love me just the way I am

Outro: 
     D                G                  D 
So I guess I'm just a horse you'll never break 
                 A/C#   Bm         F#m  D 
And I'm probably always gon' be this way 
    G                D            Bm        A        G   E 
But I'll always come runnin' when you reach out your hand 
       A                          A#    Bm G E 
'Cause you still love me just the way I am 
A                      D 
You still love me just, just the way I am 
A              D 
Just the way I am 
G              D G 
Just the way I am 
D A D A  D 
Mm
