Song: Til I Am Myself Again 
By:   Blue Rodeo

[Intro:]  | G | G | G | G |

[verse: 1]
G
I want to know where my confidence went
 C                  G
One day it all disappeared
         G          D/F#  Em
And I'm lying in a hotel room miles away
 C                      D
 Voices next door in my ear
(Voices next door in my ear)
G
Daytime's drag, nighttime's worse
C                        G
Hope that I can get home soon
        G             D/F#       Em
But the half-finished bottles of inspiration
 C                     D
 Lie like ghosts in my room
(Lie like ghosts in my room)
 
Am
I want to go
  D
I know I can't stay
    C
But I don't want to run
   D
Feeling this way
 
[chorus:]
    Am  Bm  C    D
Til I       am myself
    Am  Bm  C    D
Til I       am myself
    Am  Bm  C    D     G
Til I       am myself again

[verse: 2]
G
There's a seat on the corner I keep every night
C                      G
Wait til the evening begins
         G       D/F#  Em  
I feel like a stranger from another world
 C                        D
 But at least I'm living again
(But at least I'm living again)
G
There are nights full of anger words that are thrown
C                               G
Tempers that are shattered and thin
          G         D/F#      Em
And the moments of magic are just too short
 C                         D
 They're over before they begin
(They're over before they begin)
Am
I know it's time
 D
One big step
 C
I can't go
 D
I'm not ready yet

[chorus:]
    Am  Bm  C    D
Til I       am myself
    Am  Bm  C    D
Til I       am myself
    Am  Bm  C    D     G      G
Til I       am myself again

[verse: 3] {strum}
G
I had a dream that my house was on fire
C                         G
People laughed while it burned
          G         D/F#      Em
I tried to run by my legs were numb
C                               D
I had to wait til the feeling returned

{band kicks in}
G
I don't need a doctor to figure it out
C                        G
I know what's passing me by
        G         D/F#      Em
When I look in the mirror sometimes I see
 C                     D
 Traces of some other guy
(Traces of some other guy)
 
    Am
Well I want to go
  D
I know  I can't stay
    C
But I don't want to run
   D
Feeling this way

[chorus:]
    Am  Bm  C    D
Til I       am myself
    Am  Bm  C    D
Til I       am myself
    Am  Bm  C    D     G      G
Til I       am myself again
