Capo 2
If no capo is available, transpose up 2 (harder chords)
[Verse 1]
G
It's just another day
It's just another year
D
"One step at a time", they say
"One trip, and you're back that way"
C
I don't recognize these eyes
Am
I don't recognize these hands
D
Please believe me when I tell you
That this is not who I am
[Chorus]
G      D                C               Em
If I recover, will you take me back again?
G            D            Am               C
I'm just another, trying hard to fit right in
         G              D        Em
But my photographs remind me of who I used to be
    G           D          Em  C
If only I could go back when I was me
[Verse 2]
G
I'll try hard to make this ride
I'll try hard to win this fight
D
"One step at a time", they say
"One trip, and you're back that way"
C
I don't recognize these eyes
Am
I don't recognize these hands
D
Please believe me when I tell you
That this is not who I am
[Chorus]
G      D                C               Em
If I recover, will you take me back again?
G            D            Am               C
I'm just another, trying hard to fit right in
         G              D        Em
But my photographs remind me of who I used to be
    G           D          Em  C
If only I could go back when I was me
[Bridge]
D
Give me strength to fight
G
Help me feel alright again
D
Make me whole inside
G
Instead, this hole inside is killing me
And I'm begging you
[Chorus]
G      D                C               Em
If I recover, will you take me back again?
G            D            Am               C
I'm just another, trying hard to fit right in
         G              D        Em
But my photographs remind me of who I used to be
    G           D          Em  C
If only I could go back when I was me
