 D               E        D         E      
 Please don't mistake me, or try to make me
     D         E       A   
 The shadow of anybody else
 D           E      D               E 
 I ain't the him or her you think I am
          D      E            A   
 I'm just trying hard to be myself
     E                       A                
 Oh, society's goal is to be part of the whole
          D                         E 
 That may sound good to you, not to me
 
        A            
 Let me be, let me be
    D            E      
 To think like I want to
        A            
 Let me be, let me be
        D         E     
 That's all I ask of you
   D                       C#m   Bm       A 
 I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
 
 D A  D E

 D            E       D       E       
 Don't try to plan me or understand me
   D     E                A    
 I can't stand to be understood
 D                  E     D            E    
 I could never give in to or ever live up to
       D        E       A     
 Being like you think I should
          E                         A             
 I've got some inner need which I'm trying to heed
         D                      E 
 I can't take hand me down destiny
 
        A            
 Let me be, let me be
    D            E      
 To think like I want to

 Let me be, let me be

 That's all I ask of you
   D                       C#m   Bm       A 
 I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
 
 D            E         D      E       
 Don't try to change me or rearrange me
    D    E                     A  
 To satisfy the selfishness of you
 D         E                D                       E  
 I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day
         D     E                      A   
 And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move
               D                              E                 
 I'm sorry I'm not the fool you thought would play by your rules
        D        E           A 
 But to each his own philosophy
 
        A            
 Let me be, let me be
    D            E      
 To think like I want to
        A            
 Let me be, let me be
        D         E     
 That's all I ask of you
   D                       C#m   Bm       A 
 I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
               D     E        A    
 I said that's all I ever can be 3x
