E                 A                  E   A   E   
What good am I if I'm like all the rest? 
     E                      A                 E     A   E   
If I just turn away, when I see how you're dressed 
     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? 
 
  
A            E      A               E   A   E   
What good am I if I know and don't do? 
     E                       A                    E   A   E   
If I see and don't say, if I look right through you 
     C#m                                G#m   
If I turn a deaf ear, to the thundering sky 
A    E    A    E   A   E   
What good am I? 
 
  
A            E       A          E   A   E   
What good am I while you softly weep? 
      E                        A             E     A   E   
And I hear in my head what you say in your sleep 
      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? 
 
  
     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? 
      E                    A             E     A   E   
And I laugh in the face of what sorrow brings 
      C#m                                    G#m  
And I just turn my back, while you silently die 
A    E    A    E   A   E   
What good am I?
