 Lyrics copied from Blue Rodeo website: www.bluerodeo.com

 Key: G

 Verse:
 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

 G
 Day time is bad, nighttime 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

 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

 There's a seat on the corner I keep every night
 Wait til the evening begins
 I feel like a stranger from another world
 But at least I'm living again

 There are nights full of anger
 Words that are thrown
 Tempers that are shattered and thin
 And the moments of magic
 Are just too short
 They're over before they begin

 I know it's time
 One big step
 I can't go
 I'm not ready yet
 Til I am myself
 Til I am myself
 Til I am myself again

 Instrumental:
 D  C  G-C G, Em Bm C D, Am D G-D/F# Em, C C D D-C-D, G

 I had a dream that my house was on fire
 People laughed while it burned
 I tried to run by my legs were numb
 I had to wait til the feeling returned

 I don't need a doctor to figure it out
 I know what's passing me by
 When I look in the mirror
 Sometimes I see traces of some other guy

 I want to go
 I know I can't stay
 But I don't want to run
 Feeling this way
 Til I am myself
 Til I am myself
 Til I am myself again
