Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
N.C. [ch]C[/ch]
Perhaps, I'll never show this world all I could be
ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I just can't sing to any man the song he wants to hear
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And I know that some won't like me
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Others try to be my friend
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But I'm all of me and that's all that I am
ch]E[/ch
And if life is for the living
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Then why can't men be real
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
'Stead of hidin' in their costumes?
ch]F[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Forgettin' how to feel
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Forgettin' how to feel
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
We still live in a time when manners cover what is real
ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
There's a basic fact of life that the times cannot conceal
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That if some are masqueraders
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Others live in their facade
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But I'm what I am, I cannot be what I am not
ch]E[/ch
And if life is for the living
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Then why can't men be real
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
'Stead of hidin' in their costumes?
ch]F[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Forgettin' how to feel
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Forgettin' how to feel
Interlude
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I may be too honest and offend those who pretend
ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I don't claim I'm always right, that I'm everybody's friend
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Perhaps for them it's easier to be what they are not
ch]F[/ch
But I'm what I am
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And I just can't play that part
ch]E[/ch
And if life is for the living
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Then why can't men be real
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
'Stead of hidin' in their costumes?
ch]F[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Forgettin' how to feel
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Forgettin' how to feel
