Tone [C]
intro: (x2)
[Fmaj7] [C] [Am]
verse 1:
[Fmaj7] Sharpener's calling me a[C] gain
Trying to [Am] turn it into [Fmaj7] some
Thing I can draw into my [C] skin [Am]
[Fmaj7] Make it a picture that I [C] love
Instead of something [Am] that I [Fmaj7] wish
I could get in the bath and scrub right [C] off [Am]
chorus:
Why am I a[Fmaj7] shamed to [Dm7] look the [Bb] way I [F] do?
All 'cause an es[C] cape to [Dm7] me was just a [Bb] sharpener to [F] you
interlude:
[C] [Dm] [Bb] [F]
[C] [Dm] [Bb] [F]
verse 2:
[Fmaj7] Big old pill to inch a[C] round
There's no copping out [Am] this [Fmaj7] time
Try my best to get it [C] down (Get, get, get, get it down)[Am]
[Fmaj7] Sometimes seems like I'm still [C] young
Looking at the boy a[Am] cross the [Fmaj7] sink
Thinking, "What the hell have you just [C] done?"
("What the hell [Am] have you just done?")
chorus:
[Fmaj7] Why am I ashamed to [Dm7] look thе [Bb] way I [F] do?
All 'cause an es[C] cape to [Dm7] mе was just a [Bb] sharpener to [F] you
Why am I a[C] fraid of [Dm7] things I [Bb] let inside my [F] room?
Just wanted some [C] compa[Dm7] ny, broke the [Bb] sharpener in [F] two
outro:
You say, why am I [C] like this? [Dm7]
You mean, why am I [Bb] stupid? [F]
'Cause you [Fmaj7] know [Dm7] you're not trying to [Bb] fix it [F]
You mean, why am I [C] like this? [Dm7]
You say, why am I [Bb] selfish? [F]
'Cause you [C] know, [Dm7] honey, you can't [Bb] help it [F]
