It takes a lifetime to become the best that we can be.
We have not the time or the right to judge each other. _
It's one life, and there's no return and no deposit.
One life.
So make sure you like what's [D] in your closet.
[F] _
_ _ _ Mm-hmm.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ [Gm] Ooh, yeah.
_ [C] _ [F] Mm-hmm.
_ [Am] Mm-hmm.
_ Yeah, [Bb] yeah.
_ _ _ [Gm] Ooh. Ooh.
[C] _ _ [F]
I am [Am] what I am.
I don't [Bb] want praise.
I don't want pity.
[C] _ _ [F]
I bang my [Am] own drum.
Some think [Bb] it's noise.
I think [Gm] it's pretty.
[C] _ And so what?
_ [Dm] Love each sparkle and each [F] bangle.
Why not try [Gm] to see things [C] from a different [F] angle?
Your life [Am] is a sham.
Still you [Bb] can shout out.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ [G] I _ am [Bm] what I am.
I am what I am.
And [C] what I am is no excuse.
[D] _ _ [G]
I deal [Bm] my own deck.
Sometimes [C] the eighth.
Sometimes the deuce.
[D] _ [G] It's [D] my _ [Em] _ _ little [G] pride in my life.
[Am] And it's not a [D] place I have to [Ab] hide in.
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ Still [Db] you can shout out.
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [E] _
