๐ธ Verse 1:
F G Am
I took a wrong turn out of the bar that night into an empty part of town
F G Am
I wandered lost through the concrete wastes as the rain came pouring down
F Em
Iโm entertained by my own stupidity, black upon black
F Em
I like to stumble round in darkness just to find my way back
๐ธ Chorus:
Dm G F
I have to see if I am still me
Dm G F
I just have to see if I am still me

๐ธ Verse 2:
F G Am
That the wreckage of my body will obey my will is still worth a bet
F G Am
Yeah I know Iโm playing a game Iโm bound to lose but Iโm not beaten yet
F Em
I push every stringy sinew much harder than I should
F Em
I try to balance everything but my balance is no good

I have to see if I am still me
Dm G F
I just have to see if I am still me
๐ธ Bridge:
Am Em C
So Iโm here again
Am Em C
With the smile of a Cain
Am Em C
Just to rattle at my chains
Am Em C
I can take all of the blame
Am Em C
Give me, give me all the blame
Am Em C

๐ธ Verse 4:
F G Am
The conventions that weโre meant to live by make no sense to me
F G Am
If they could see inside our thoughts, they would lock us up and throw away the key
F Em
Iโm done with asking for forgiveness I never have deserved
F Em
Itโs time to call the time upon the time that I have served
๐ธ Chorus:
Dm G F
I have to see if I am still me
Dm G F
Yeah I just have to see if I am still me
