One of the finest songs Karen Carpenter ever sang, here's my take of the piece. Comments and/or corrections are most welcomed ([email protected]) Love Me For What I Am (Carpenters) F# We fell in love G# On the first night that we met Fm Together we've been happy Bbm I have very few regrets F# The ordinary problems Fm Have not been hard to face Bbm F# But lately little changes G#sus4 G# Have been slowly taking place Fm You're always finding Bbm F# G#7sus - G#7 Something is wrong in what I do Fm Bbm But you can't rearrange my life F# G# Because it pleases you Chorus: F# G# F# C# G# You've got to love me for what I am Bbm For simply being me F# Don't love me for what you intend G#sus4 G# Or hope that I will be Fm And if you're only using me Bbm Fm To feed your fantasy Bbm You're really not in love F# G#sus G# C# So let me go, I must be free F# If what you want G# Isn't natural for me Fm I won't pretend to keep you Bbm What I am, I have to be F# The picture of perfection Fm Is only on your mind Bbm F# For all your expectations G#sus G# Love can never be designed Fm Bbm We either take each other F# G#7sus - G#7 For everything we are Fm Bbm Or leave the life we've made behind F# G# And make another start (Repeat Chorus) Coda: (First 4 lines Chorus Chords) (Repeat last four lines of chorus) (Repeat last two lines of chorus)
