I've Gotta Be Me

	  		C                                Dm                             
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong 
 
          G7                                    C 
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong 
 
              F   G7                F     G7 
I've gotta be me      I've gotta be me 
 
                F    C         Dm      G7 
What else can I be, but what I am 
 
 
           C                   Dm 
I want to live,  not merely survive 
 
          G7                                       C 
And won't give up this dream of life that keeps me alive 
 
              F    G7                     F     G7 
I've gotta be me      -     I've gotta be me 
 
                  F        Dm     C 
The dream that I see makes what I am 
 
                E7                        Am 
That far away prize   -   A world of success 
 
               Dm        G7       C 
Is waiting for me, if I heed the call 
 
                Am                        Bm 
I won't settle down,    won't settle for less 
 
            Am                                  Dm     G7    
As long as there's a chance  that I can have it all 
 
 
	         C                        Dm 
I'll go it alone ,  That's how it must be 
 
             G7                                         C 
I can't be right for somebody else if I'm not right for me 
 
                F    G7                     F      G7 
I've gotta be free     -    I've gotta be free 
 
           F               Am         G7      C      A7 
Daring to try to do it or die, I've gotta be me.
