I'm out of breath, I'm out of breath
Trying to sing and find four chords
To play
Day after day
Trying to play these four chords
Trying to write a song, trying to make an album
Turning my heart and soul into words
On a page
And who's to blame
Certainly not me
I'm still trying to find out
Who I'm supposed to be
Out of breath, I'm out of breath
Trying to write a second verse, trying to write a second verse
But I feel cursed
And no, I didn't know I could feel worse
Drinking drugs and smoking whiskey
Trying to get a feel for who I want to be
In this world of fear
You've got to do what you love
Certainly not me
I'm still trying to find out
Who I'm supposed to be
Out of breath, I'm out of breath
Trying to sing a song and find four chords
To play
Day after day
Trying to play these four chords
Trying to write a song, trying to make an album
Turning my heart and soul into words on a page
And who's to blame
Certainly not me
I'm still trying to find out
Who I'm supposed to be
