G#m                     C#m
I'm a saint, and I'm a sinner
G#m               C#m
I'm a loser and a winner
B                    C#m
Without faith and a believer
G#m                  C#m
I am true and the deceiver

I'm a hero and a villain
I'm a myth, and I'm a legend
Without strength and a contender
I am real and the pretender

 E
Take me as I am, or don't
    G#m
Cause I don't give a damn, no
 F#
Take me as I am, or don't
     C#m              B
Cause I don't give a damn, no

Chorus:
   G#m
I have my flaws
I make mistakes
           B
But I'm myself
I'm not ashamed
            C#m
That's who I am, oh
That's who I am, oh
                 E F#
That's who I am, oh
   G#m
I have my doubts
I lose my strength
             B
Sometimes I fall, but I don't break
             C#m
That's who I am, oh
That's who I am, oh
                 E F#
That's who I am, oh

I'm a poet and a soldier
I am young and growing older
Without hope, but I'm a dreamer
I'm the cure, and I'm the fever

I am lost with a direction
I am failure and perfection
Without grace, but I am tired
Of walking life like it's a wire

Take me as I am, or don't
'Cause I don't give a damn, no
Take me as I am, or don't
'Cause I don't give a damn, no

Chorus

   E
I don't want to be someone else
   G#m
I don't ever want to lose this hunger
 F#                              C#m
Never gonna try to change myself, oh
 E
When everybody's got their soul on sale
   G#m
I don't want to be just a number
 F#                              C#m E G#m F# B
Never gonna try to change myself, oh, oh, oh

Chorus

That's who I am, oh
That's who I am, oh
That's who I am, oh
That's who I am, oh
That's who I am, oh
That's who I am, oh
