INTRO: Em Bm G
#1.
[Em]Don't try and under[Bm]stand me, you [C]never could do [G]that.
Ahhhh, and [Em]in the end you'd [Bm]wind up being [Am7]hurt.[D7]
I'm a [Em]man with too many [Bm]problems that keep [C]pounding on
my brain.
So, [G]if you want me, you'll [C]take me for what I'm [G]worth.
([G]If you want me, you'll [C]take me for what I'm [G]worth.)[C]
#2.
I [Em]don't pretend to [Bm]be a saint, my [C]sins they are [G]many..
but there's [Em]no one perfect [Bm]in this uni[Am7]verse.[D7]
And [Em]though you think I'm [Bm]weird, don't [C]try and change
me, [G]dear..cause if you want me, you'll [C]take me for what
I'm [G]worth.
(If you [G]want me, you'll [C]take me for what I'm [Em]worth.)
(INTERLUDE:) Em Bm C G
#3.
Hear a [Em]howling wind out[Bm]side my door, there's [C]restlessness
with[G]in.
Oh, I'm [Em]like a rain cloud that [Bm]one day may [Am7]burst.[D7]
We [Em]both know I'll be [Bm]leavin' and if [C]one little tear you [G]grieve..
[G]aahhh, it's all right cause [C]that's all I'm really [G]worth.
([G]It's all right, cause [C]that's all I'm really [G]worth.)
#4.
And [Em]if you think a[Bm]bout me, [C]in your lonesome [G]hours..
aahhh, and [Em]on your lips there's a [Bm]sweet word and not a
[Am7]curse.[D7]
Aahhhh, [Em]then I'll be comin' [Bm]back one day, when my [C]wandering
is [G]over[C].
Ah, if you [G]want me, you'll [C]take me for what I'm [G]worth.
([G]If you want me, you'll [C]take me for what I'm [G]worth.)
OUTRO:
[G]Ah, if you want me, you'll [C]take me for what I'm [G]worth.
([G]If you want me, you'll [C]take me for what I'm [G]worth.)
