Verse 1:
Cmaj7Cmaj7          G+G
Sharpener's callin' me again
            Cmaj7Cmaj7
Tryin' to turn it into some-
             G+G
thing I can draw into my skin
Cmaj7Cmaj7           G+G
 Make it a picture that I love
              Cmaj7Cmaj7
Instead of something that I wish
                    G+G
I could get in the bath and scrub right off

Chorus:
     G+G     E minorEm    A minorAm  Cmaj7Cmaj7
Why am I ashamed to look the way I do?

All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you

Verse 2:
Cmaj7Cmaj7            G+G
 Big old pill to inch around
              Cmaj7Cmaj7
There's no copping out this time
           G+G
Try my best to get it down (Get, get, get, get it down)
Cmaj7Cmaj7                G+G
 Sometimes seems like I'm still young
               Cmaj7Cmaj7
Lookin' at the boy across the sink
                    G+G
Thinking "What the hell have you just done?" ("What the hell have you just done?")

Just wanted some company, broke the sharpener in two
