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

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

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