Love Me For What I Am
(Carpenters)
           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
   Bbm           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
(Repeat Chorus)
Coda: (First 4 lines Chorus Chords)
