I Cant Be Myself Chords & Lyrics - Merle Haggard

[C]It's a way of mine to [G7]say just what I'm [C]thinking

And to do the things I [G7]really want to [C]do

And [F]you want to change the part of me [C]I'm proud of

So I can't be [G7]myself when I'm with [C]you

Oh you never liked the [G7]clothes I wear on [C]Sunday

Just because I don't [G7]believe the way you [C]do

But [F]I believe the Lord knows I'm [C]unhappy

Cause I can't be [G7]myself when I'm with [C]you [C7]

[F]I can't be myself and be what [C]pleases you

And [F]down deep inside I [C]don't believe that you [G7]want me to

And [F]it's not my way to take so long [C]deciding

That I can't be [G7]myself when I'm with [C]you

[F]I can't be myself and be what [C]pleases you

And [F]down deep inside I [C]don't believe that you [G7]want me to

And [F]it's not my way to take so long [C]deciding

That I can't be [G7]myself when I'm with [C]you
