DEmD/F#G (2x)
DEm
No I'm not perfect, not put together
D/F#G
And sometimes I'm lonely, But it's only real life
DEm
Here I stand cast your stones, If you mock me
D/F#G
I know that it's only you're scared of real life.
DEmGA
I fooled everybody,
DEm
I learned to say the right words and dress the right dress
GA
and do the right things.
DEmGADEm
But maybe one day they'll see through my facade,
GA
and I'll be me.
DEmGA
I tried to be somebody
DEmGA
Someone who I could look up to, I would respect and I would care about
DEmGA
And I thought if I was all these things,
DEmGA
then maybe I could learn to love myself.
But I'm not perfect, not put together
And sometimes I'm lonely, But it's only real life
Here I stand cast your stones, If you mock me
I know that it's only, that you're scared of real life.
And I'm not perfect, and I'm not put together
No I'm not perfect, and I'm not put together
I tried to succeed in a value system that puts everyone in their place
You gotta dress right, you gotta be cool, you gotta be popular
If you wanna be as happy as the people on the TV
Till, I found there's a God who has a place for everyone and
every person, every broken heart, No matter how imperfect
He loves you right where you are
And he loves me
Chorus:
EmD/F#
But here I am right where I am and through it all
G
I'm just trying to be myself, I'm just trying to be myself
ABmEm
And I let go, of these feelings
A
And I finally know it's all right to be
not perfect, not put together
And sometimes I'm lonely, But it's only real life
Here I stand cast your stones, If you mock me
I know that it's only you're scared of real life
and I'm not perfect...
