    D             Bm           Em                             A 
I'm waiting for a word to feel different from the others I've heard 
    D             Bm          Em                        A 
I'm tired of my voice but I'm bound to it, these are my choices 
     D             Bm 
It's endless, this debate 
    Em                         A 
The misapplied philosophy, the shadows in the cave 
    D              Bm 
The two dogs at my feet 
    Em                           A 
And I decide which one will die, who starves and who eats 
    F#m                       F# 
The more I sit and stare they look the same to me 
    Bm                   Bm 
They offer up a bleeding question in their teeth 
    Em                                    A 
And I'm surprised when it's my voice that speaks

G                         Em                       D 
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?

Verse: 2 
         D              Bm 
And it's quiet, and I'm alone 
    Em                              A 
And indifferent to the things I can know 
     D                Bm 
I've exhausted my interest 
       Em                              A 
In the contradicting plates in me, the struggling shift 
        D             Bm 
And I'm sorry for the mess 
   Em                          A 
To you for sure, or even more, myself, most, I guess 
    F#m                            F# 
See once the bells that rang throughout my hanger head 
     Bm                  Bm 
They caution me awake we thought that you were dead 
   Em                       A 
Go testify your fundamental need

G                         Em                       D       Bm   B 
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now? 
Em                        G                        D 
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now?

Verse: 3 
F#m                 F# 
Pirouette the waltz across the tight 
            Bm                            Bm 
We'll tie a dream that pulls you asked to colonize your mind 
    Em                                 A 
The life you want, the life you likely need

Em                        G                        Bm    E  A 
What am I supposed to be? What am I supposed to be now? 

Outro 
G                  A 
Now that I can see what I'm supposed to be now
