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

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