Intro:
F          C
F          C

Verse 1:
F                       C
Sharpener’s calling me again
                       F
Trying to turn it into some-
                         C
thing I can draw into my skin

                         F
Make it a picture that I love
                            C
Instead of something that I wish
                                        F
I could get in the bath and scrub right off

Chorus:
          Am/F      Cadd9    A#maj7  F
Why am I ashamed to look the way I   do
               Am       Cadd9         A#maj7       F
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you

Instrumental:
      Fmaj7     Cadd9    A#maj7     F
      Fmaj7     Cadd9    A#maj7     F

Verse 2:
                       C
Big old pill to inch around
                             F
There's no copping out this time
                      C
Try my best to get it down
                                F
Sometimes seems like I'm still young
                               C
Looking at the boy across the sink
                                      F
Thinking what the hell have you just done

Chorus:
          Am/F      Cadd9    A#maj7  F
Why am I ashamed to look the way I   do
               Am       Cadd9         A#maj7       F
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you
          Am       Cadd9    A#maj7        F
Why am I afraid of things I let inside my room
                 Am    Cadd9        A#maj7       F
Just wanted some company, broke the sharpener in two

Instrumental:
      Am    Cadd9    A#maj7     F
      Am    Cadd9    A#maj7     F


Outro:
                 Am         Cadd9
You say why am I like this
                  A#maj7    F
You mean why am I stupid
           Am Cadd9                  A#maj7  F
‘Cause you know you’re not trying to fix it

                  Am        Cadd9
You mean why am I like this
                 A#maj7     F
You say why am I selfish
           Am Cadd9             A#maj7   F
‘Cause you know honey you can’t help it
