Verse 1:

	 Em                 Bm
	Don't try and understand me
	     C              G
	You never could do that
	         Em                Bm            Am7    D7
	Ahh, and in the end you'd wind up being hurt
	      Em                 Bm
	I'm a man with too many problems
	            C
	That keep pounding on my brain

	   G                      C                     G
	So if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth
	                        C                     G      C
	(If you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)

Verse 2:

	I don't pretend to be a saint
	My sins they are many
	But there's noone perfect in this universe
	And though you think I'm weird
	Don't try and change me dear

	'Cause if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth
	 G                      C                    Em
	(If you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)

Guitar solo:

	      Em       Bm       C        G
	      / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /
	(...worth)

Verse 3:

	Hear a howling wind outside my door
	There's restlessness within
	Oh, I'm like a rain cloud that one day may burst
	We both know I'll be leavin'
	And if one little tear you grieve

	Ahh, it's all right 'cause that's all I'm really worth
	(It's all right 'cause that's all I'm really worth)

Verse 4:

	And if you think about me
	In your lonesome hours
	Ahh, and on your lips there's a sweet word and not a curse
	Ahh, then I'll be comin' back one day
	When my wandering is over

	Ahh, if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth
	(If you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)

Coda:

	Ahh, if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth
	 G                      C                     G [end cold]
	(If you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)
