C                 G7
     I was shadow boxing
C                          E
     And my shadow punched back
A               Dm
     Can you imagine
B            Em       Dm  G7
     My surprise
C                    G7
     Then I got to thinking
C                                 E
     If there’s something I don’t know
A                       Dm
     Something inside of me
B                       Em      Dm   G7
     That I’m trying to hide

[Chorus]
C                      G7
     Fighting with myself
                   C
     I may never win
                      G7
     But I’ll never stop
                     E
     When did I begin?
                F            C            G7
     Till I can rest these feet

[Verse 2]
C                    G7
     I looked in the mirror
C                  E
     And I wasn’t there
A                   Dm
     And I was wondering where
B               Em     Dm G7
     I could be now
C                   G7
     So I sat in a chair
C                  E
     And tried to relax
A            Dm
     But I really
B               Em     Dm G7
     Don’t know how

[Chorus]
C                      G7
     Fighting with myself
                   C
     I may never win
                      G7
     But I’ll never stop
                     E
     When did I begin?
                F           C            G7
     Till I can rest these feet

[Verse 3]
C                G7
     Sometimes I feel
C                     E
     Like I could get along
A                  Dm
     But it always ends
B       Em       Dm G7
     In tears
C                G7
     Sometimes I feel
C                    E
     Like I could be happy
A                 Dm
     But I always find
B                 Em    Dm G7
     Something to fear
