G#m B F#
I've been ignoring this big lump in my throat. I shouldn't be crying.
G#m
Tears were for the weaker days
B F#
I'm stronger, now what, so I say, but something's missing
 
G#m
Whatever it is, it feels like
B F#
It's laughing at me through the glass of a two-sided mirror
G#m B F#
Whatever it is, it's just laughing at me, and I just wanna scream:
 
F# G#m E
What now? I just can't figure it out
F# G#m E
What now? I guess I'll just wait it out
F# G#m E
What now?
F# G#m E
Whoa, what now?
 
G#m B
I found the one, he changed my life
F#
But was it me that changed
G#m
And he just happened to come at the right time
B F#
I'm supposed to be in love, but I'm numb again
 
G#m
Whatever it is, it feels like
B F#
It's laughing at me through the glass of a two-sided mirror
G#m B
Whatever it is, it's just sitting there,
F#
Laughing at me, and I just wanna scream:
 
F# G#m E
What now? I just can't figure it out
F# G#m E
What now? I guess I'll just wait it out
F# G#m E
What now? Please tell me
F#m G#m E
What now?
 
G#m B F#
There's no one to call cause I'm just playing games with them all
G#m B F# D#m
The more I swear I'm happy, the more that I'm feeling alone
G#m B
Cause I spent every hour just going through the motions
F# G#m
I can't even get the emotions to come out
B C# D# E
Dry as a bone, but I just wanna shout
 
F# G#m E
What now? I just can't figure it out
F# G#m E
What now? I guess I'll just wait it out (wait it out)
F# G#m E
What now? Somebody tell me
F#m G#m E
What now?
