I've Gotta Be Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Whether I'm right,
whether I'm [A]wrong
Whether I find a place in
this world or never be[D]long
I've gotta be [G]me,
[F#m]I've gotta [D]be me[G][F#m]
[A]What else [D]can I [G]be[F#m][Bm]
but [A]what I am?
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Asus4]
I want to [D]live,
not merely sur[A]vive[Asus4][A]
And I [Asus4]won't give up [A]this dre[Asus4]am of lif[A]e
That keeps me [D]alive
I've gotta [G]be me,
[F#m]I've g[D]otta be m[G]e[F#m]
The dream that I [G]see makes
me [Asus4]what I am[D]

[Verse 3]
That [A]faraway prize,
[C#]a wo[F#]rld of succes[Bm]s
Is waiting [Em]for me [G]if I h[Asus4]eed the call[A][D]
I [G]won't settle down or settle for [F#m]less
As long as [Bm]there's half [Esus4]a chance
[E]that I can have it [A]all[Asus4][A]
I'll [D]go it alone,

[Verse 4]
that's how it must [A]be[Asus4][A]
I can't be right for some[G]body else
[Am]if I[A]'m not right for me[D]
I've gotta [G]be me,
[F#m]I've gotta b[G]e m[F#m]e
Daring [G]to try to do [F#m]it or [Em]die,
I've got[A]ta [D]be [Bb]me[Eb][Bbsus4][Bb]

[Verse 5]
I can't be [Bbsus4]right for somebody
[Bbm]else if I'm n[Bb]ot right fo[Eb]r me
I've gotta [Ab]be me,
[Gm]I've got[Eb]ta be me[Ab][Gm]
Daring [Ab]to try [Gm]to do it or di[Fm]e,
I've [Bbsus4]gotta be me[Bb][Eb][Ab]
[Eb][Fm][Eb]
[Ab]I've gotta [Bb]be me[Eb]
