Verse 1:
[E]How many times have I come to you
How many t[Fdim]imes have you taken me in
[F#m]How have you never quite realized
That this will be n[A]othing more than what it's been
[E]Why is it that I return to the scene of the cr[Fdim]ime
Though there's nothing I need
Between the m[F#m]oments that linger before us
Haven't you w[B]ondered why I always l[Cdim]eave
Chorus:
[C#m]Let me
Be who I a[E]m[B/D#]
[C#m]Let me
Leave while I c[E]an[B/D#]
You know [C#m]love don't find
This sort of m[B]an[A]
So just l[Am]et me leave
E Bm
While I can
Verse 2:
[E]How many times have I come to you
Bleeding and br[Fdim]oken and under attack
[F#m]How can you look in my eyes and my heart
And not s[B]ee that there's something I lack[Cdim]
[E]Why is it that I'm as bad as I am
But I k[Fdim]now that you'll never be[/C#]lieve
[F#m]Why do you still love me
When all I have d[B]one is to lie and deceive[Cdim]
Chorus 2:
[C#m]Let me
Be who I a[E]m[B/D#]
[C#m]Let me
Leave while I c[E]an[B/D#]
You know l[C#m]ove don't find
This sort of m[B]an[A]
Bridge:
[F#m]Can't give you what you need
And I'm [E/G#]so tired that I can't breathe
And I d[A]on't know if you can see,
But my sh[B]ip is goin' down[/D#]
And I tr[F#m]ied my best to be a man
So I [E/G#]set you free while I still can
Cause I c[A]an't seem to change who I a[B]m[Cdim]
Chorus 3:
So just [C#m]let me
Be who I a[E]m[B/D#]
Oh, oh, [C#m]let me
Leave while I c[E]an [B/D#]
