Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Your eyes they tie

 me down so hard

 i'll never learn to put up a guard

 so keep my love

 my candle bright

 learn me hard, oh learn me right

 this ain't no sham

 i am what i am

 though i may speak

 some tongue of old

 or even spit out some holy word

 i have no strength

 from which to speak

 when you sit me down, and see i'm weak

 we will run and scream

 you will dance with me

 they'll fulfill our dreams

 and we'll be free

 and we will be who we are

 and they'll heal our scars

 sadness will be far away

 So as we walked

 through fields of green

 as the fairest sun i'd ever seen

 and i was broke

 i was on my knees

 but you said yes as i said please

 this ain't no sham

 i am what i am

 i leave no ties

 for a cynics mind

 we will run and scream

 you will dance with me

 they'll fulfill our dreams

 and we'll be free

 and we will be who we are

 and they'll heal our scars

 sadness will be far away

 do not let my fickle flesh go to waste

 as it keeps my heart and soul in it's place

 and i will love with urgency but not with haste
