[Intro]
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G


[Verse 1]
Cmaj7                   G
Sharpener's callin' me again
                       Cmaj7
Tryin' to turn it into some-
                         G     G6
thing I can draw into my skin
Cmaj7                      G
  Make it a picture that I love
                            Cmaj7
Instead of something that I wish
                                        G     G6 
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


[Interlude]
G Am F Cmaj7
G Am F Cmaj7


[Verse 2]
Cmaj7                       G
  Big old pill to inch around
                            Cmaj7
There's no copping out this time
                      G                                  G6
Try my best to get it down (Get, get, get, get it down)
Cmaj7                                G
  Sometimes seems like I'm still young
                              Cmaj7
Lookin' at the boy across the sink
                                       G                                           G6
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              Cmaj7
Why am I afraid of things I let inside my room?
                 G     Am           F            Cmaj7
Just wanted some company, broke the sharpener in two


[Outro]
                  G           Am
You say, why am I like this?
                   Cmaj7
You mean, why am I stupid?
            G   Am                    Cmaj7
‘Cause you know you’re not trying to fix it
                   G          Am
You mean, why am I like this?
                     Cmaj7
You say, why am I selfish?
           G    Am                Cmaj7
‘Cause you know honey you can’t help it
