C           G           C     G
I've never been on the railroad
C            G                C         G
'cause many times as they've passed me by
F  C                    F    C
I never crashed in the desert, or seen a rodeo

I don't know much about the world wars or Vietnam
I've yet to read about Uncle Tom
Never climbed a real rock
Or seen Colorado

Chorus:
Em
Am I the son I think I am?
C
Am I the friend I think I have?
Em7                             C
Am I the man I think I want to be?

I never had a day where money didn't get in my way
I never listened to much Elvis
And I can't remember
A warm December

Chorus:
Am I the son I think I am?
Am I the friend I think I am?
Am I the man I think I want to be?

D
And I'm here for your fantasy, sanity

I am here, I am.

Chorus:
Am I the son I think I am?
Am I the father that I think I am?
Am I the man I think I want to be?

I'm here for my sanity, sanity
I am here for you
Whether or not I'm walkin' in
Or whether or not I'm walkin' out
I am always here for you
Hey, hey

And I'm here for my sanity, sanity
I am here for you
I'm here for your fantasy, sanity
I am here
I am
