I CAN'T BE MYSELF

By Merle Haggard

C                     G7                C

It's a way of mine to say just what I'm thinking

                       G7             C

And to do the things I really want to do

    F                                 C

And you want to change the part of me I'm proud of

              G7                   C

So I can't be myself when I'm with you

                       G7                C

Oh you never liked the clothes I wear on Sunday

                     G7                  C

Just because I don't believe the way you do

    F                            C

But I believe the Lord knows I'm unhappy

                 G7                   C   C7

Cause I can't be myself when I'm with you

F                             C

I can't be myself and be what pleases you

    F                  C                      G7

And down deep inside I don't believe that you want me to

    F                               C

And it's not my way to take so long deciding

                G7                   C

That I can't be myself when I'm with you

Repeat #3
