Verse 1:          
            E              A
Sometimes i speak to fast, 
                        E      A
and my temper's just as quick,
                 E        A
Yeah i drive too fast,
                         E     A
I guess thats just how i live,
                  E              A
I've earned every scar i've got,
                           E         A
learned alot of things the hard way,
      B                             A
No, I aint quite been the pillar of this community,
                   E
but I've always been me.

Chorus:
     E                                   
I'll take the blame when its my fault,
    A
get knocked down and stand up tall,
         E              A
screamin bring it on, I aint scared
           E                           
Never gone outta my way or acted fake,
   A
to impress anyone and thats okay,
          E                        
sometimes I'm too proud to loud,
             A
but what you get is what you see,
       C#m                B             A
I been called it all from bad news to a crazy SOB,
                       E  A
but I've always been me

Verse 2:
E            A                       E    A
My last name, i'll defend it til i'm gone,
         E          A                                   E     A          
I try to do whats right, but sometimes it comes out all wrong
             B
Hell, I aint never been an angel,
         A
and I'll never claim to be,
                     E
but I've always been me

I don't make excuses, for none of my mistakes
  B                   A
I am what I am, and I aint what I aint
