D                    E
You’ll never be happy being somebody else
   G                   D
No matter how hard you try
D                 E
Walkin’ around in another cat’s clothes
   G                   D
Is only gonna make you cry

[Chorus]
             D    E
You gotta be you
              G    D
Just gotta be you
             G    D    E
You gotta be you, you, you...
N.C.          D   E   G   D
Just gotta be you

[Verse 2]
          D                    E
You won’t rock a tuxedo like a penguin can
     G                   D
As a bird you will never fly.
        D                             E
I gotta rock this old world like only Pete the Cat can
             G                          D
You can’t do better and I’m tellin’ you why

[Chorus]
             D    E
You gotta be you
              G    D
Just gotta be you
             G    D    E
You gotta be you, you, you...
N.C.          D   E   G   D
Just gotta be you
                 D   E   G   D
No one else will do

D E G D x2

[Instrumental]
Oooo…
Oooo…
Oooo…

[Verse 3]
  D                         E
I wanna be sure that you’re catchin’ my wave
   G                              D
So let me tell you where it’s at, bro
    D                            E
You gotta be sure you’re singin’ your own song
         G                   D
It’s the only tune you gotta know

[Chorus]
             D    E
You gotta be you
              G    D
Just gotta be you
             G    D    E
You gotta be you, you, you...
G   D   E
You you you
             G   D   E
You gotta be you you you
       D     E    G    D
Nobody else

You got it
              D   E   G   D
Just gotta be you

[Bridge]
Bm     A      D                 G
  Just like a reflection in the river
Bm  A     D           G
  I see myself in the mirror
      G    D      E
And I like what I see
G      D      E
  It’s really me
G     D        E
  I’m proud to be
N.C.            D   E   G   D
A portrait of myself
