Rodney Crowell I Hardly Know How To Be Myself by Rodney Crowell  
                                                 Roseanne Cash

John Leventhal   guitar/piano
Leland Sklar     bass
Eddie Bayers     drums
Barry Beckett    organ

F#                             D#m
Go out and hear a band at some club downtown
B                                F#
Walk home in the rain and let it soak me down
F#                             D#m
Smile and shuffle past all the faces at the door
B                        F#
I hardly know how to be myself anymore
F#
I wonder where you are
     D#m
Do I exist for you
B                      
If that pain that never quits
     F#
Ever gets you too
F#                                  D#m
I think about my life and what it's headed for
B                       F#       
I hardly know how to be myself anymore
B             C#        D#m
I know how to chase the night away
B                        F#
Show no feelings by the light of the day
B             C#      D#m
I know how to keep it all intact
B                             C# 
Tears may fall but there's no holding back
F#                     D#m
Time runs by me like a river cold
B                         F#
It sends a shiver way down in my soul
                          D#m
I see my past just like a mask I wore
B                       F#          
I hardly know how to be myself anymore

SOLO

B             C#       D#m
I know how to face the night alone
B                           F#
And keep my distance on the telephone
B                 C#       D#m       B         
I know how to get my crying done and tears may fall
            C#
But I don't show no one
F#                               D#m
I go out and hear a band at some club on down the street
B                            F#
I shake the hands of all the people that I meet
F#                                 D#m 
I hope they find just what they're looking for
B                        F#
I hardly know how to be myself anymore
B                        F#
I hardly know how to be myself anymore
B                        F#
I hardly know how to be myself
