Intro C Fm x3
C G
[Verse 1]
C Am Dm G
I'm waiting for a word to feel different from the others I've heard
C Am Dm G
I'm tired of my voice but I'm bound to it, these are my choices
C Am
It's endless, this debate
Dm G
The misapplied philosophy, the shadows in the cave
C Am
The two dogs at my feet
Dm G
And I decide which one will die, who starves and who eats
Em E
The more I sit and stare they look the same to me
Am Am
They offer up a bleeding question in their teeth
Dm G
And I'm surprised when it's my voice that speaks
[Chorus]
F Dm C
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Instrumental]

C G
[Verse 2]
C Am
And it's quiet, and I'm alone
Dm G
And indifferent to the things I can know
C Am
I've exhausted my interest
Dm G
In the contradicting plates in me, the struggling shift
C Am
And I'm sorry for the mess
Dm G
To you for sure, or even more, myself, most, I guess
Em E
See once the bells that rang throughout my hanger head
Am Am
They caution me awake we thought that you were dead
Dm G
Go testify your fundamental need
[Chorus]
F Dm C Am A
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
Dm F C
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Instrumental]

C Am Dm G x2
[Verse 3]
Em E
Pirouette the waltz across the tight
Am Am
We'll tie a dream that pulls you asked to colonize your mind
Dm G
The life you want, the life you likely need
[Chorus]
F Dm C Am A
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
Dm F Am D G
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?
[Outro]
F G
Now that I can see what I'm supposed to be now
