Gm
Lord what's the matter
D/F#
Am I lost
F                     C
This life's a disaster, what is the cause
Gm           D/F#
Am I a junkie, what is my fate
F                      C
Or am I a flunkie who doesn't relate
   D#          D
Or am I a child so full of hate

Am I a doctor or even a priest?
Or am I a rapist who needs a release?
A psychotic prancer
Times Square dancer
The mind can see as long as you'll be
For real with yourself
And you'll forever be

Chorus:
                   Gm
And you'll forever be
    D/F#     F
Be, be, be, be
               C/E
You'll forever be
Gm      D/F#                F
Be, be, be, you'll forever be
                C
You'll forever be
             D#              D
When you're real with yourself
You'll forever be

Lord, what's the matter, am I insane?
This life's an illusion, that's all it remains
Are you listening, are you boss?
Am I going to make it up on that cross?
Believe in Your name and

Chorus:
You'll forever be
Be, be, be, be
You'll forever be
Be, be, be, you'll forever you be
You'll forever be
When you're real with yourself
You'll forever be
