D  Em  D/F#  G (2x) 
            D                        Em 
No I'm not perfect, not put together 
                                D/F#              G 
And sometimes I'm lonely, But it's only real life 
            D                                  Em 
Here I stand cast your stones, If you mock me 
                        D/F#             G 
I know that it's only you're scared of real life. 
 
D Em             G  A 
I fooled everybody,  
                    D                                   Em 
I learned to say the right words and dress the right dress  
       G                 A 
and do the right things. 
         D              Em                G      A  D  Em 
But maybe one day they'll see through my facade,  
                 G  A 
and I'll be me. 
D Em                    G  A 
I tried to be somebody 
                         D                          Em                 G  A 
Someone who I could look up to, I would respect and I would care about 
      D                 Em    G           A 
And I thought if I was all these things, 
         D                    Em          G  A 
then maybe I could learn to love myself. 
 
But I'm not perfect, not put together 
And sometimes I'm lonely, But it's only real life 
Here I stand cast your stones, If you mock me 
I know that it's only, that you're scared of real life. 
And I'm not perfect, and I'm not put together 
No I'm not perfect, and I'm not put together 
 
I tried to succeed in a value system that puts everyone in their place 
You gotta dress right, you gotta be cool, you gotta be popular 
If you wanna be as happy as the people on the TV 
Till, I found there's a God who has a place for everyone and  
every person, every broken heart, No matter how imperfect 
He loves you right where you are 
And he loves me 
 
Chorus: 
                 Em                               D/F# 
But here I am right where I am and through it all 
                                    G 
I'm just trying to be myself, I'm just trying to be myself 
      A         Bm           Em      
And I let go, of these feelings 
          A  
And I finally know it's all right to be 
 
not perfect, not put together 
And sometimes I'm lonely, But it's only real life 
Here I stand cast your stones, If you mock me 
I know that it's only you're scared of real life 
 
and I'm not perfect...
