Capo IV Key of E
All chords relative to Capo


(Csus)What good am (C)I if I'm (F)like all the (C)rest,
(Csus)If I just turned (C) away, when I (F) see how you're (C) dressed,
If I (Am) shut myself off so I can't hear you (em)cry,
(F)What (C)good (F)am (C)I?

What good am I if I know and don't do,
If I see and don't say, if I look right through you,
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky,
What good am I?

What good am I while you softly weep
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep,
And I freeze in the moment like the rest who don't try,
What good am I?

(am)What good am I then to others and me
(am)If I've had every chance and yet still fail to (G)see
(am)If my hands tied must I not wonder within
(am)Who tied them and why and (G)where must I have (F)been

What good am I if I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back while you silently die,
What good am I?
