I Am What I Am

	 
[Estrofa]
F           Am         Bb             Gm7    C7 
I am what I am I am my own special creation. 
F               Am                Bb           Gm7     C7 
So, come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation.  
     F  Dm7          F              C 
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in; 
F      Dm7             Bb            Gm7     C7 
    my world, and it's not a place I have to hide in.  
F                  Am                Bb    Gm7 C7 
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say I am  what I  
F    Eb   Db   (B C D E)

F           Am              Bb                  Gm7    C7 
I am what I am I don't want praise I don't want pity  
F             Am                   Bb                 Gm7     C7 
I bang my own drum some think it's noise I think it's pretty  
    F    C/E     Dm 
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle  
F/C                  Gm7             C 
      Why not try to see things from a different angle  
F                Am                 Bb          Gm7 C7 
  Your life is a sham till you can shout out I am  what I  
F    Eb   Db   (B C D E)

F           Am            Bb            Gm7    C7 
I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses  
F             Am                 Bb                Gm7   C7 
I deal my own deck sometimes the ace sometimes the deuces  
     F     C/E            Dm 
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit  
F/C                   Gm7          C 
     One life so it's time to open up your closet  
F                    Am                 Bb         Gm7 C7 
  Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out I am  what I
