[Opening]
[C] [Am] [G] [C] [F]
I’m in my [C]bed
And you’re not [Am]here
And there’s no one to [G]blame but the drink in my wandering [F]hands
Forget what I [C]said
It’s not what I [Am]meant
And I can’t [G]take it back, I can’t unpack the baggage you [F]left

[chorus]
What am I [C]now? What am I now?
What if I’m [Am]someone I don’t want around?
I’m [G]falling again, I’m falling [Em]again, [F]I’m falling
What if I’m [C]down? What if I’m out?
What if I’m [Am]someone you won’t talk about?
I’m [G]falling again, I’m falling [Em]again, [F]I’m falling

[verse 2]
You said you [C]care, and you missed me [Am]too
And [G]I’m well aware I write too many [Em]songs [F]about you
And the coffee’s [C]out at the [Am]Beachwood Cafe
And it [G]kills me ’cause I know we’ve run out of things we can [F]say

[chorus]
What am I [C]now? What am I now?
What if I’m [Am]someone I don’t want around?
I’m [G]falling again, I’m falling [Em]again, [F]I’m falling
What if I’m [C]down? What if I’m out?
What if I’m [Am]someone you won’t talk about?
I’m [G]falling again, I’m falling [Em]again, [F]I’m falling

[verse 3]
And I get the feeling [Am]that you’ll never need [C]me [Am]again [G] [Em] [F]

[Closing]
What am I [C]now? What am I now?
What if [Am]you’re someone I just want around?
I’m [G]falling again, I’m falling [Em]again, [F]I’m falling
What if I’m [C]down? What if I’m out?
What if I’m [Am]someone you won’t talk about?
I’m [G]falling again, I’m falling [Em]again, [F]I’m falling
