[intro]
F#m4,7
G#m6
A2
B4

[verse 1]
E
take me as I am
C#m
I lay down all I thought I should be 
       A2
and I give up my walls of pride, 
     (A2)    -     E
hoping love will find me
E 
take me as I am
C#m 
never wanted to need Your love, 
     A2
so alone and afraid to fall, 
     (A2)     -     E
praying love will find me

[chorus]
E    -     A2           G#m6     -    F#m4,7
And can it be- that You love me this way?
                     E      -     A2
You never ask me to be more than I could be
G#m6     -    F#m4,7     C#m             F#m4,7 - A2
No more trying to be someone, and can it be
C#m             F#m4,7 - A2
yeah, and can it be

[verse 2]
E
Take me as I am
C#m
Never good enough to be loved,
      A2
so I lived with my pain inside, 
     (A2)     -   E
hoping love will find me
E
Take me as I am
C#m
So tired of trying to make it alone,
        A2
so I'm taking this step of faith, 
      (A2)          E 
trusting You will find me

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
F#m4,7
In the mirror all I saw
G#m6
was that I never measured up
A2
I couldn't like myself, so
C#m
how could I understand Your love?
F#m4,7
I thought love was something bought- 
G#m6
by being someone I was not
A2
how could I know all You'd
B4
ask is that I let You love me?

[repeat chorus]
(end on A2, precussion, and fade)
