Next To Normal - I Am The One

      [Verse]
        F#m7    A    Bm7
Can you tell me
        D            F#m7    A    Bm7
What it is you're afraid of?
        B            E     B/D#      A2/C#  A  E/G#
Can you tell me why I'm afraid it's me?
      F#m7      A   Bm7
Can I touch you?
           D            F#m7    A   Bm7
We've been fine for so long now
          B               E       B/D#     A2/C#
How could something go wrong that I can't see?
           D/A  A   E
'Cause I'm hold-ing on
      D/A   A   E
And I won't let go
       D9
I just thought you should know

[Chorus]
A         A2/C#
 I am the one who knows you
D2/F#      D
 I am the one who cares
  A                A2/C#           D2/F# D D2 D
I am the one who's always been there
A         A2/C#
 I am the one who's helped you
D2/F#         D        A/C#
 And if you think that I just
Bm7           Esus
Don't give a damn
     Bm              C#7         F#m7  A  Bm7  D
Then you just don't know who I am

          F#m7
Could you leave me?
       A        Bm7
(Hey, Dad, it's me)
          D          F#m7
Could you let me go under?
       A        Bm7
(Why can't you see?)
         B            E
Will you watch as I drown
     B/D#   A2/C#  A  E/G#
And wonder why?

        F#m7
Are you bleeding?

Are you waiting?
        A
Are you wishing?
                         Bm7
Are you wanting all that she can't give?
        D
Are you bruised?
         F#m7
Are you broken?

Are you hurting?
        A
Are you healing?
                     Bm7
Are you hoping for a life to live?

                      E
Does it help you to know
     B/D#  A2/C#
That so am I?

        D/A  A  E
Tell me what to do
(Look at me)
        D/A A  E
Tell me who to be
         D9
So I can see what you see

[Chorus]
A          A2/C#
 I am the one who'll hold you
D2/F#      D
 I am the one who'll stay
  A              A2/C#       D2/F# D
I am the one who won't walk away
D2         D
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A          A2/C#
 I am the one who'll hear you
D2/F#         D
 And now you tell me
A/C#   Bm7           Esus
That I won't give a damn
    Bm7         Esus
But I know you know who I am

D       A           E
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
F#m7       E

That's who I am
D       A           E
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
C#7sus     C#7   D9
That's who I am
           D/A  A   E
'Cause I'm hold-ing on
     E9       E         D/A
(You say you hurt like me)
      D/A   A   E
And I won't let go
     E9            D2
(You say that you know)
        D2
Yeah, I thought you should know

[Chorus]
A          A2/C#
 I am the one who knows you
D2/F#      D
 I am the one who cares
  A                A2/C#        D2/F#  D
I am the one who's always been there
D2          D
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A          A2/C#
 I am the one who needs you
D2/F#         D        A/C#
 And if you think that I just
Bm7           Esus
Don't give a damn
     Bm7              C#7      F#m
Then you just don't know who I am
