Introduction:

 C                                                               Dm 
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong

I've gotta be me           I've gotta be me

What else can I be, but what I am
                       C                                     Dm 
I want to live,   not merely survive
                     G7                                                                             C 
And won't give up this dream of life that keeps me alive

I've gotta be me.                     I've gotta be me

The dream that I see makes what I am

That far away prize.           A world of success

Is waiting for me, if I heed the call

I won't settle down,       won't settle for less

As long as there's a chance   that I can have it all
                     C                                               Dm 
I'll go it alone ,   That's how it must be
                           G7                                                                                 C 
I can't be right for somebody else if I'm not right for me
                                 F       G7                                         F           G7 
I've gotta be free.                 I've gotta be free
                       F                             Am                 G7           C           A7 
Daring to try to do it or die, I've gotta be me.
