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