intro
C Am Dm G x2

C Am Dm
the poet’s head is dead
G
his words have been misread
C Am Dm
and the cynic’s lips are dry
G C
his vulture tongue obsessed

( C ) Dm
you gotta love the earth
G
don’t burn my wings
Em
too close to the sun

chorus
Am C G
what the hell Am i supposed to do
G C Am
when you’re pushing hard on me
Am C G
who the hell Am i supposed to be
G C Am
when you’re bleeding all over me

C Dm G ( G )

C
god knows i’m good
Am
so misunderstood
Dm G
coming to you ah – ah
C
i’m down on my own
Am
no spirit unknown
Dm G C
that’s why i’m supposed to believe in you

( C ) Dm
i love the earth
G
don’t burn my wings
Em
too close to the sun

( chorus )
what the hell Am i supposed to do
when you’re pushing hard on me
who the hell Am i supposed to be
when you’re bleeding all over me

Am
said it before
Em
sayin’ it again
( Em )
holy fools yea

C Dm G G x2

( chorus )
what the hell Am i supposed to do
when you’re pushing hard on me
who the hell Am i supposed to be
when you’re bleeding hard for me

Am C G
what are you gonna do when the light gets in your eye
G C Am
you’re gonna find that there’s – – there’s life outside
Am C G
who Am i supposed to be
G C Am
when you’re so hard , hard on me

outro
( C ) Am
oh the poet’s head is dead
Dm G
his words have been misread
C Am
the cynic’s lips are dry
Dm G
his vulture tongue obsessed

( G ) C

( Am ) ( Dm ) ( G ) ( C )
