[intro]
Fm4,7
Gm6
A2
B4
[verse 1]
E
take me as I am
Cm
I lay down all I thought I should be
A2
and I give up my walls of pride,
(A2) - E
hoping love will find me
E
take me as I am
Cm
never wanted to need Your love,
A2
so alone and afraid to fall,
(A2) - E
praying love will find me
[chorus]
E - A2 Gm6 - Fm4,7
And can it be- that You love me this way?
E - A2
You never ask me to be more than I could be
Gm6 - Fm4,7 Cm Fm4,7 - A2
No more trying to be someone, and can it be
Cm Fm4,7 - A2
yeah, and can it be
[verse 2]
E
Take me as I am
Cm
Never good enough to be loved,
A2
so I lived with my pain inside,
(A2) - E
hoping love will find me

Take me as I am

So tired of trying to make it alone,
A2
so I`m taking this step of faith,
(A2) E
trusting You will find me

In the mirror all I saw
Gm6
was that I never measured up
A2
I couldn`t like myself, so
Cm
how could I understand Your love?
Fm4,7
I thought love was something bought-
Gm6
by being someone I was not
A2
how could I know all You`d
B4
ask is that I let You love me?
[repeat chorus]
(end on A2, precussion, and fade)
