A                 E             B             C#m B
I was stopped in London when I felt it coming down
  A            E                B              C#m B
Crashing all around me with a great triumphant sound
 A                 E              B
Like the dam was breaking and my mind
             C#m  B
came rushing in
A                 E             B         C#m
I was stopped in London, oh, I was awakening
   B
I was

I was o'er in Paris when I almost ran away
Two times 'round the block before I decided to stay
Puffed along a cigarette that went and made me sick
Spent another day pretending I was over it

Chorus:
A          E
This time, I know I'm fighting
B             C#m       B          A
This time, I know I'm (Back in my body)
          E
This time, I know I'm fighting
B             C#m      B           A  E B C#m
This time, I know I'm back in my body, oh
     B          A  E  B
I'm back in my body, oh

And all along the highway, there's
a tiny whispering sound
Saying I could find you in the dark of any town
But all that I am hearing in the poem of my mind
Are silent twisted words finding their way in
every line

Oh, this time
Oh, this time

Chorus:
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (Back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (Back in my body)
Lost you in the border town of anywhere
I found myself when I was going everywhere
(Back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm

 B           A   E B C#m
(Back in my body)
 B           A   E B C#m
(Back in my body)
 B           A   E B C#m
(Back in my body)

A         E       B      C#m B
Oh, this time, oh, this time
A         E       B      C#m B
Oh, this time, oh, this time
A         E       B      C#m B
Oh, this time, oh, this time
A         E       B      C#m B
Oh, this time, oh, this time

Chorus:
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (Back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (Back in my body)
Lost you in the border town of anywhere
I found myself when I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm back in my body, oh
I'm back in my body, oh
I'm back in my body, oh
Back in my body, oh, oh
