Verse 1:
Dadd4
Last night I smoked a cigarette
Gmaj7                       Em
My dad would have been so upset
Dadd4
Then we got tattoos by the coast
Gmaj7                         Em
And I stood there just like a ghost

Maybe you don’t really want me there at your birthday party
        Dadd4
I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
Gmaj7                    Em
Every single word of the conversation we just had

Chorus:
Dadd4
So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...

why am I like this?

Verse 2:
Dadd4
I saw a girl crying on the train
Gmaij7                               Em
Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain
Dadd4
I never asked if she was OK
Gmaj7                       Em
She just got up and walked away

Bridge:
Bm                      A                        Em
  It's like I'm looking down from the ceiling above
             G5
Never in the moment, never giving enough
Bm                 A                             Em
  Let’s go out and shout the words we never said
            G5
I got my mistakes on loop inside my head, inside my head
