Take Me Like I Am

E B E


[Verse 1]
E                         C#m  B                 E
I'm a-livin' on the other side of the track it's true.
E
But like it or not, I'm just as good as you.
E                             A    C#m     E
If I see you comin' with your head held so high..
E                                       B
don't you worry 'bout me speaking, I'll pass you right
   E
on by.


[Chorus]
E                                 B             E
This world is full of money but I haven't got a dime.
E
Had a million heart-aches but I'm happy all the time.
E                           A         E
I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb.
E                  C#m                  B              E
If you want to get along with me you'll take me like I am.

[Verse 2]
E                                     B               E
You can talk about your fancy friends and your millionaires.
E
I may not have their money but I don't have their cares.
E                             A             E
You can live in a mansion set upon a golden throne.
E                                               B
But all these things you have in life are gonna vanish when
    E
I'm gone.


[Chorus]
E                                 B             E
This world is full of money but I haven't got a dime.
E
Had a million heart-aches but I'm happy all the time.
E                           A         E
I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb.
E                  C#m                  B              E
If you want to get along with me you'll take me like I am.
