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

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