[Intro] Am C Em C Am Am Em C Am C Em C Em Am Am Em C [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
I’m entertained by my own stupidity, black upon black

          F                                 Em
I like to stumble round in darkness just to find my way back
[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
[instrumental] Am C Em C Am Am Em C Am C Em C Em Am Am Em C [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 I’m playing a game I’m bound to lose but I’m 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
[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
[Bridge]
Am              Em     C
  So I’m 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
(no lyrics)
[Verse 3]
       F                                            G        Am
The conventions that we’re 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
I’m done with asking for forgiveness I never have deserved

     F                              Em
It’s time to call the time upon the time that I have served
[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
[Outro] Dm G F Dm G F Dm G F Dm
