(Intro)
A, A, E, A

A, E
(Verse 1)
A E A
I've been away too long awhile, I lost my rhythm, I forgot my style.
A E D
Too complicated for this simple man,
A E
But now I understand.
(Verse 2)
A E A
Like a circle peg in a square hole, I tried to push it but it wouldn't go.
A E D
It didn't kill me so my strength increased,
A E
And now I finally see.
(Chorus 1)
A A E A
I found a love that was gone deep inside of me, I found a man who was lost and I set him free.
A E D
I thought that the pain was never gonna end,
A E A
But now I can be myself again.
(Verse 3)
A E A
I had the best the world could offer for sho', but peace of mind is much more precious than gold.
A E D
I was in place where truth was hard to find,
A E
But it's all revealed in time.
(Verse 4)
A E A
Stick out my chest and hold my head up high, forgot how it felt to feel so good inside.
A E D
A fool would gain the world just to lose himself,
A E
Now I'm gonna be true to no one else.
(Chorus 2)
A E A
I gotta light in my eyes for the world to see, thank God the music's back inside of me.
A E D
It was a long hard road to be a better man
A E A
But now I can be myself again.
(Chorus 3)
A E A
I feel the roll of thunder in my bones, I hold my head up high everywhere that I go.
A E D
And the gift of life I truly understand,
A E A
'Cause I can be myself again.
(Bridge)
D A
No there ain't no wound that love can't heal for sho'. Yes I know.
D E F
And if you lose yourself the Lord will guide you home. This I know.
(Verse 5)
Bb F Bb
Well I found a joy and serenity, won't let nobody tell me something's wrong with me.

But now I can be myself again.
(Chorus 3)
Bb F Bb
I feel the roll of thunder in my bones, I hold my head up high everywhere that I go.

And the gift of life I truly understand,
Bb F Bb
And I can be myself again.

Bb F Bb Bb7
I can be myself again.
