[Verse 1]
[D]I am what I am,
[F#m]I am my own sp[Em]ecial creati[Asus4]on
[A]So [D]come take a look
[F#m]and give me the ho[Em]ok or
the ova[D]tion[Asus4]
It's [D]my [A]world that I want
[Bm]to have a little pride in
[D]My world and it's not [Em]a place
[Asus4]I have to hide in
[D]Life's not worth a [F#m]damn
till you can [G]shout out
[Em]I am wha[A]t I am[D]
[C]Listen up, this is [Bb]me talking to you
You gotta [G]stick to your [A]ego,
[Bm]be what yo[A]u are
[D]Hang on to yourself
[C]And every day you look into the mirror
an[Bb]d say to yourself
I [A]am [G]what I [A]am[Bm]
[A]I a[D]m what I am[F#m]
I don't want [G]praise, I don't want [Em]pity
[A]An d [D]I bang my own d[F#m]rum,
some think it's [G]noise,
but I think it's [Em]pretty
[A]And so [D]wha[A]t if I lov[Bm]e
each part in any bangle?
[A]Why not[Asus4] try to see thin[Em]gs
from a dif[Asus4]ferent angle?

I [Em]am w[A]hat I am[D][C][Bb][G][A]
[Bm][A][D][C][Bb][Gm][G]
[A]I a[D]m what I am, [F#m]and what I am[G]
needs no ex[Em]cuses[A]
And [D]I deal my own d[F#m]eck,
sometimes [G]DAs,
sometimes de[Em]duces
[A]It's my [D]lif[A]e and there's no [Bm]return
and no deposit
[A]One life, [Asus4]so it's time t[Em]o open
[Asus4]up your eyes a[A]nd
[D]Life's not worth a [F#m]damn till you can s[G]hout out
I [Em]am w[A]hat I am[D][C][Bb][G][A][Bm][A]
[D][C][Bb][Gm][G][A][Bm]
[A][D]
La la la, la la la la la, la la la bang bang

[A]I a[E]m what I am, [Abm]and what I am[A]
needs no ex[F#m]cuses[B]
And [E]I deal my own d[G#m]eck
sometimes he [A]hates,
sometimes se[F#m]duces
[B]It's my [E]lif[B]e and[D#m] there's no re[C#m]turn
and no deposit
[Bsus4]One life,[E] so it's time [F#m]to
open [B]up your eyes and
[F]Life's not perfect, [Am]damn,
