Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of F
[Verse]
F C F
Why must you always try to make me over
C F
Take me as I am or let me go
C Bb
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
C F
Take me as I am or let me go.
[Chorus]
C F
You're trying to reshape me in a mould, love
C F
In the image of someone you used to know
C Bb
I won't be a stand-in for an old love
C F
Take me as I am or let me go.
[Verse]
F C F
You've tried to change me ever since you've met me
C F
Take me as I am or let me go.
C Bb
If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me
C F
Take me as I am or let me go.
[Chorus]
C F
You're trying to reshape me in a mould love
C F
In the image of someone you used to know
C Bb
But I won't be a stand-in for an old love
C F
Take me as I am or let me go.
