I Cant Be Myself When Im With You Chords & Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Intro: | [B7] | [E] | [B7] | [E] | [E] |

[E]It's a way of mine to [B7]say just what I[E]'m thinking
And to do the things [B7]I really want to [E]do
And you w[A]ant to change the part of me I[E]'m proud of
I can't be mys[B7]elf when I'm with y[E]ou

[E]You never liked the cl[B7]othes I wear on Su[E]nday
Just because I don't beli[B7]eve the way y[E]ou do
[A]But I believe the Lord knows I'm u[E]nhappy
‘Cause I can't be mys[B7]elf when I'm with y[E]ou

[A]I can't be myself and be what ple[E]ases you
Down de[A]ep inside [E]I don't believe y[F#]ou really want me [B7]to
It's n[A]ot my way to take so long d[E]eciding
I can't be mys[B7]elf when I'm with y[E]ou

It's n[A]ot my way to take so long d[E]eciding
I can't be mys[B7]elf when I'm with y[E]ou
