[Start]

[Intro]
F#m F#7    F#m    
■   ■   Oh ■   hmm
   F#m
Oh oh 
Dmaj7 Bm7 Dmaj7 Bm7 F#m7 F#m
Oh    ■   ■     ■   well ■  
           F#m         
She's been down and out


[Verse]
F#m                   
She's been wrote about
                        B         
She's been talked about constantly
           B          
She's been up and down
B                       
She's been pushed around
         B                
But they held her down NYC
        B         
She has no regrets
B                   
She accepts the past
          B7         
All these things they
B7                     
Helped make to make she
           F#7           
She's been lost and found
F#7                   
And she's still around
          F#m                  
There's a reason for everything


[Chorus]
Dmaj7         F#m            
You know I've been holdin' on
                                     Bm7   
Try to make me weak but I still stay strong
F#m                              
Put my life all up in these songs
F#m                    
Just so you can feel me
        Dmaj7   Bsus4
So take me as I am   
   F#m                
Or have nothing at all
     Dmaj7          
Just take me as I am
Bm7    F#m                
■   Or have nothing at all


[Verse]
          Dmaj7    
Now she's older now
Dmaj7              
Yes she's wiser now
      Dmaj7           
Can't disguise her now
Dmaj7         
She don't need
       F#m        
No one tellin' her
F#m               
What to do and say
       F#m                  
No one tellin' her who to be
         D           
She's on solid ground
           Dmaj7         
She's been lost and found
                   Bsus4
Now she answers to GOD  
          F#m      
And she's confident
        F#m7       
This is not the end
    F#m                      F#m7 
Ask me how I know 'cause she is me


[Chorus]
Dmaj7                        
You know I've been holdin' on
       Dmaj7       
Try to make me weak
      Dmaj7            
But I still stay strong
Dmaj7                            
Put my life all up in these songs
F#m                  Dmaj7
Just so you can feel me   
   Bm7                    
So you can get the real me
   F#m7       Dmaj7
So take me as I am 
Bsus4           F#m7  
Or have nothing at all
F#m7                
Just take me as I am
F#m                   
Or have nothing at all
        Dmaj7                
So it's all or nothing at all

               Bm7   
All or nothing at all
                             C#sus4
Don't you know I can only be me    
                 C#sus4
I can only be me yeah  
        F#m7 Dmaj7            
So it's all  or nothing at all
       Bsus4         
All or nothing at all
                             C#m7 F#m
Don't you know I can only be me   ■
