One of the finest songs Karen Carpenter ever sang, here's my take of the piece. Comments and/or corrections are most welcomed ([email protected])

           F#
We fell in love

       G#          
On the first night that we met

Fm
Together we've been happy

  Bbm
I have very few regrets

F#
The ordinary problems

Fm
Have not been hard to face

    Bbm           F#
But lately little changes

          G#sus4        G#
Have been slowly taking place

         Fm
You're always finding

Bbm          F#              G#7sus-G#7
Something is wrong in what I do

        Fm        Bbm
But you can't rearrange my life

  F#                   G#
Because it pleases you

Chorus:

F#     G#  F# C#               G#
You've got to love me for what I am

    Bbm
For simply being me

      F#
Don't love me for what you intend

   G#sus4           G#
Or hope that I will be

Fm
And if you're only using me

   C         Fm
To feed your fantasy

Bbm
You're really not in love

          F# G#sus G#      C#
So let me go, I    must be free

            F#
If what you want

      G#
Isn't natural for me

Fm
I won't pretend to keep you

       Bbm
What I am, I have to be

F#
The picture of perfection

Fm
Is only on your mind

    Bbm           F#
For all your expectations

           G#sus    G#
Love can never be designed

     Fm              Bbm
We either take each other

    F#            G#7sus-G#7              
For everything we are

   Fm                   Bbm
Or leave the life we've made behind

    F#        G#
And make another start
