Intro E Am x3
E B
[Verse 1]
E C#m F#m B
I'm waiting for a word to feel different from the others I've heard
E C#m F#m B
I'm tired of my voice but I'm bound to it, these are my choices
E C#m
It's endless, this debate
F#m B
The misapplied philosophy, the shadows in the cave
E C#m
The two dogs at my feet
F#m B
And I decide which one will die, who starves and who eats
G#m G#
The more I sit and stare they look the same to me
C#m C#m
They offer up a bleeding question in their teeth
F#m B
And I'm surprised when it's my voice that speaks
[Chorus]
A F#m E
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Instrumental]
E Am
E B
[Verse 2]
E C#m
And it's quiet, and I'm alone
F#m B
And indifferent to the things I can know
E C#m
I've exhausted my interest
F#m B
In the contradicting plates in me, the struggling shift
E C#m
And I'm sorry for the mess
F#m B
To you for sure, or even more, myself, most, I guess
G#m G#
See once the bells that rang throughout my hanger head
C#m C#m
They caution me awake we thought that you were dead
F#m B
Go testify your fundamental need
[Chorus]
A F#m E C#m C#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
F#m A E
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Instrumental]
E Am
E B
E C#m F#m B x2
[Verse 3]
G#m G#
Pirouette the waltz across the tight
C#m C#m
We'll tie a dream that pulls you asked to colonize your mind
F#m B
The life you want, the life you likely need
[Chorus]
A F#m E C#m C#
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
F#m A C#m F# B
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Outro]
A B
Now that I can see what I'm supposed to be now
