verse 1:

 Em             G
You put me on a shelf,
 G                      Em
You think you've got me pegged,
Em             G 
Like everybody else,
G                      Em 
Always messing with my head 
 Em                    G
Stop trying to make me change,
 G                     C 
Stop trying to make me fake,
 C      D 
Because I really don't appreciate it, 


Chorus:

Em
Do you mind,
D
If I'm just me?
D          Em                                   D
So what if I do everything a little bit imperfectly?
 Em  
What do you care?
 Em       D 
Would you be there
  D          C 
When you get it straight
 C                     D
That you can't make me anything you want me to be
 D                Em 
Because that's not me
 Em      G     D 
(I'm an individual) 

verse 2:

 Em                    G
This world can get you down
 G           Em
It's always stumping
 Em                  G 
To pattern your whole life
 G               Em
They've got you jumping.
 Em               G 
I used to say how high
 G            C 
But now I say good-bye
  C                   D
Because I think i had enough 

Chorus:

Em
Do you mind,
D 
If I'm just me?
D          Em                                   D 
So what if I do everything a little bit imperfectly?
 Em 
What do you care? 
 Em       D
Would you be there
 D       C 
When you get it straight 
 C                     D
That you can't make me anything you want me to be
 D                Em 
Because that's not me
 Em      G      D 
(I'm an individual)
 D        Em 
That's not me
  Em             G        D              
(I won't be your paper doll)


Bridge:

  Em          G  
You've got me mistaken
 G           Em
For somebody else
 Em          G 
I'm not your creation
 G       Em              D 
A weaker imitaition of myself.
 D      Em  G   Em   D
Yeah! Yeah          Yeah! Yeah


 Em
Do you mind,
 D 
If I'm just me?
 D         Em                                   D 
So what if I do everything a little bit imperfectly?
 D          Em 
What do you care?
 Em          D 
Would you be there
 D        C       
When you get it straight
 C                     D 
That you can't make me anything you want me to be
 D                Em 
Because that's not me
 Em      G      D 
(I'm an individual) 
 Em                D
Oh, do you mind, yeah,
 Em 
That's not
  C
That's not 
 D        Em
That's not me
