       F#                      G#
Yeah, maybe I'ma get a little anxious
A#m                      C#
Maybe I'ma get a little shy
'Cause everybody's tryna be famous
And I'm just tryna find a place to hide (Oh)
All I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
I don't even know how to explain this
I don't even think I'm gonna try

     D#m A#m G#
And that's okay
             D#m A#m  B
I promise myself one day
(Hey!)

I'ma tell 'em all
      A#m
I'ma tell 'em all

that you could either hate me or love me
     A#m             C#
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all
that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am

That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am

Maybe I'ma get a little nervous
Maybe I don't go out anymore (Oh)
Feelin' like I really don't deserve this
(-serve this)
Life ain't nothing like it was before
(It was nothing like before)
'Cause all I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
If you go and look under the surface (Surface)
Baby, I'm a little insecure

And that's okay (Baby, now, that's okay)
I promise myself one day
(Hey!)

Chorus:
I'ma tell 'em all
I'ma tell 'em all
that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all (All)
I'ma tell 'em all
that you could either
hate me or love me (Hate me, love me)
But that's just the way I am

That's just the way I am (I am)
That's just the way I am (I am)
That's just the way I am
(Baby, now) That's just the way I am

I'ma tell 'em all
(That's just the way I am)
I'ma tell 'em all
that you could either hate me or love me
(That's just the way I am,
that's just the way I am)
But that's just the way I am

Am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted
I am, am, am (Oh)
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted all along (Oh)

Everybody's tryna be famous
And I'm just tryna find a place to hide

Chorus:
I'ma tell 'em all ('Em all)
I'ma tell 'em all
that you could either hate me or love me
But that's just the way I am
I'ma tell 'em all ('Em all)
I'ma tell 'em all
that you could either
hate me or love me (Hate me, love me)
But that's just the way I am

That's just the way I am
That's just the way I am
(Maybe I'ma get
a little anxious,
maybe I'ma get a little scared)
That's just the way I am
(Baby, now) That's just the way I am
('Cause everybody's tryna be famous)

I'ma tell 'em all
(That's just the way I am)
I'ma tell 'em all
that you could either hate me or love me
(That's just the way I am)
But that's just the way I am
