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