[Intro]
| Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 | G | Em |

| Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 | G | Em |

[Verse]
Cmaj7 G
Sharpener's callin' me again
Em Cmaj7
Tryin' to turn it into some-
G Em
thing I can draw into my skin
Cmaj7 G
Make it a picture that I love
Em Cmaj7
Instead of something that I wish
G Em
I could get in the bath and scrub right off
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am F C
Why am I ashamed to look the way I do?
G Am F C
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you
[Instrumental]
G Am F C

G Am F C

[Verse]
Cmaj7 G
Big old pill to inch around
Em Cmaj7
There's no copping out this time
G Em
Try my best to get it down (Get, get, get, get it down)
Cmaj7 G
Sometimes seems like I'm still young
Em Cmaj7
Lookin' at the boy across the sink
G Em
Thinking "What the hell have you just done?" ("What the hell have you just done?")
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am F C
Why am I ashamed to look the way I do?
G Am F C
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you
G Am F C
Why am I afraid of things I let inside my room?
G Am F C
Just wanted some company, broke the sharpener in two
[Instrumental]
G Am Fmaj7 C

G Am Fmaj7 C

[Outro]
G Am
You say, why am I like this?
Fmaj7 C
You mean, why am I stupid?
G Am Fmaj7 C
‘Cause you know you’re not trying to fix it
G Am
You mean, why am I like this?
Fmaj7 C
You say, why am I selfish?
G Am Fmaj7 C
‘Cause you know honey you can’t help it
