E                 A                E       A  E
What good am I if I'm like all the rest   (lick)
      E                     A              E        A  E
If I just turn away, when I see how you're dressed (lick)
     C#m                                 G#m
If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry
A    E    A  E     A  E
What good am I?   (lick)

E                   A              E       A  E
What good am I if I know and don't do     (lick)
      E                      A                  E      A  E
If I see and don't say, if I look right through you   (lick)
     C#m                               G#m
If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky
A    E    A  E     A  E
What good am I?   (lick)

E                    A          E      A  E
What good am I while you softly weep  (lick)
      E                        A           E       A  E
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep  (lick)
      C#m                                          G#m
And I freeze in the moment like the rest who don't try
A    E    A  E     A  E
What good am I?   (lick)

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

E                   A           E       A  E
What good am I if I say foolish things (lick)
      E                    A           E        A  E
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings  (lick)
      C#m                                  G#m
And I just turn my back while you silently die 
A    E    A  E     A  E
What good am I?   (lick)
