[Verse 1]
D#(b9)
I’m a little alike
D#(b9)
You before things had changed
D#(b9)
In a compass, I ride
D#(b9)
All this feels rearranged

[Chorus]
D                      F#m
Tell me, does it matter
D                                                 F#m
If I’m still here, or I’m gone?
D                                 F#m
Shifting to the after
D                                                 D#(b9)
An impostor, I’m not the one you know

[Verse 2]
D#(b9)
I look the same outside
D#(b9)
Nearly me even though
D#(b9)
I carry something I hide
D#(b9)
Underneath the one you know

D                                 F#m
Tell me, does it matter

If I’m still here, or I’m gone?
D                         F#m
Shifting to the after

An impostor, so disowned
D                 F#m                 D                 F#m
Are you surprised black water flows
D                                 F#m
From wells run dry?
D
I’m not the one you know

[Bridge]
F#m                 B                 F#m
Lay me out with our guilt
D
Watch the explosions fall, rain
F#m                 B                 F#m
Cannot live within this tilt

Carryin’ over
F#m                                 D
I’m not the one you know

D                                 F#m
Tell me, does it matter

If I’m still here, or I’m gone?
D                 F#m
Shifting to the after
D                                 F#m
An impostor, so disowned

D                 F#m                 D                 F#m
Are you surprised black water flows

I’m not the one you know
