Fm7         Gm7      Cm7
Do what you want girl, but be what you are
Fm7                      Gm7      C
There ain't no right or wrong way,
just a play from the heart
Fm                  Gm    Cm
It ain't a sign of weakness to give yourself away
Fm7                            Gm7
Because the strong give up and move on,
          Gsus4              G
While the weak give up and stay

Chorus:
Cm7
So do what you want to do
What you want to do
          A#
What you want to do
What you want to do
         G#
But be what you are
              C#
Be what you are ...
Do what you want to do
What you want to do
What you want to do
What you want to do
But be what you are
Be what you are ...

Do you believe in hot cars
Leather bars, and movie stars
Is that what's real?
Payin' dues, in earth shoes, Chicago blues
Is that how you feel?
You can change, you can change, you can change,
you can change
But you can't conceal
What's deep inside you
It's your game, it's your deal
It's your game, it's your deal

Chorus

Do what you want to, girl
You can be what you want to
You can do what you want to
You can do, you can be
You could do, you could be
You can...
