[F]
I [Am] am, I am [Dm] my own special
[Bb] creation
[C]
[F] Heart, [Am] look, give [Dm] me the hook of your creation
[C]
It's [F] my [A] world [Dm]
to [F] have a little pride in
My [G] world, but it's not a place I earn
[F] Life's not worth [Am] a damn
Till you [Dm] can say, hey, what [Gm] I earn
I [F] am,
[G]
what [Bm] I am
I [Em] don't need praise, I don't [Am] need [D] pity
[G]
I'll be my own [Bm] pride
Some think [Em] it's low, I [Am] think it's [D] pretty
[G] And so, [B]
if I [Em] love each [G] feather and each [B] spandrel
Why [A] not try and see things from a different [G] view
Life's [Bm] a sham, till you can [Em]
say, hey, what [Am] I
[Dm]
[G]
[Ab] I [Cm] am, what [Fm] I am
