Chords

[Verse I]
 A       B         Dm
I met a man in the can.

  Dm                              A
Wouldn't you know he was going my way

   A            B              Dm
We talked till four, he talked more.

 Dm                        A
I was afraid I'd turn and say,
[Chorus]
  F#m         D
"Love me for what I am,

 A                   F#m
Not what I try to be.

 F#m              B
Love me for what I am,

  D
I am someone imperfectly me."
[Verse 2]
A               B
The lights were low,

Dm
Don't you know

 Dm                   A
He gave a phony home address'

 A             B              Dm
Then after weeks, guess who speaks.

   Dm                       A
"Darling," he says, and I say yes,
[Chorus]
 F#m          B
"Love me for what I am,

 A                   F#m
Not what I try to be.

F#m               B
Love me for what I am,

D
I am
[Bridge]
    A                     F#m
A person who likes to lie too much,

   A7
I try too much

    F#m
To impress other people.

  D
Often my inferiors.

          A
Could you like a girl like that?

          F#m
Would you like a girl like that?

           A7
Would you hold her in your arms,

       Dm              A
Could you like a girl like that?

           A
Could you like a girl like that?

 B                          D        Dm
Could you like a girl like that?
[Verse 3]
A          B             Dm
We lay in bed, he plays dead,

Dm                             A
I play a game with sound and light.

A      B         Dm
Don't need a quiz, I'm all his.

 Dm                              A
"Darling," he says, "We might survive the night-"
[Chorus]
 F#m         D
Love me for what I am,

A                    F#m
Not what I try to be.

F#m                B
Love me for what I am,

 D                       A
I am someone imperfectly me,

Dm                  A
Someone imperfectly me.
