C                        G
  And so the story goes,   a girl in tattered clothes,
Am                                    F
  a dream that was so close she could taste it.
C
  Three years and what to show for it?
G
  Everybody says that you should go for it,
Am                                    F
  then everybody leaves you, lying on   the pavement.
C
Why do I do this I put myself through this,
      G
yeah, I should know better than jumping in head first
Am
lately I'm losing, this silence is bruising
     F
it's my fault for choosing this.

[Chorus]
C      G
Who am I
                                       Am
when everything I've know is stripped away,
                       F
underneath it all am I   still the same?
C      G
Who am I, for better or for worse
          Am                            F
I need to know if I'm gonna find my way   home?

[Verse 2]
C
  And it's hard for me to eat when I get down,
G
  I lost more than 20 pounds,
Am                              F
  I lost all my solid ground in   the current.
C
  And I've wondered if God hears my prayers
G
  and I've cried out to see if He cares
Am
  and when I hit rock bottom I swear
        F
I could feel Him there

[Chorus]
C      G
Who am I
                                       Am
when everything I've know is stripped away,
                       F
underneath it all am I   still the same?
C      G
Who am I, for better or for worse
          Am                            F
I need to know if I'm gonna find my way   home?

[Interlude]
| Am    G    | F          | Am    G    | F          |
| Am    G    | F          | Am    G    | F          |

[Bridge]
Am                     G
Lately I'm losing this silence is bruising,
F                          N.C.
my fault for choosing this.

[End-Chorus]
C      G
Who am I
                                       Am
when everything I've know is stripped away,
                       F
underneath it all am I   still the same?
C   G/B Am
Who am  I, for better or for worse
          F                             G
I need to know if I'm gonna find my way   home?
         C        G        Am         F            C
to who I am.
