Verse 1:
Dadd4
Last night I smoked a cigarette
Gmaj7Gmaj7            E minorEm
My dad would have been so upset
Dadd4
Then we got tattoos by the coast
Gmaj7Gmaj7             E minorEm
And I stood there just like a ghost

Pre-Chorus:
       Dadd4
Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body
        Gmaj7Gmaj7            E minorEm
Maybe you don’t really want me there at your birthday party
    Dadd4
I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
Gmaj7Gmaj7          E minorEm
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...
Gmaj7Gmaj7            E minorEm
Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Dadd4
Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7Gmaj7        E minorEm
why am I like this?

Verse 2:
Dadd4
I saw a girl crying on the train
Gmaij7                E minorEm
Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain
Dadd4
I never asked if she was OK
Gmaj7Gmaj7            E minorEm
She just got up and walked away

Bridge:
B minorBm           A augmentedA            E minorEm
 It's like I'm looking down from the ceiling above
       G5G5
Never in the moment, never giving enough
B minorBm         A augmentedA               E minorEm
 Let’s go out and shout the words we never said
      G5G5
I got my mistakes on loop inside my head, inside my head

Chorus:
Dadd4
So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7Gmaj7            E minorEm
Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Dadd4
Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7Gmaj7        E minorEm
why am I like this?
Dadd4
So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7Gmaj7            E minorEm
Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Dadd4
Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7Gmaj7        E minorEm
why am I like this?

Outro:
       Dadd4
Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body
        Gmaj7Gmaj7            E minorEm
Maybe you don’t really want me there at your birthday party
    Dadd4
I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
Gmaj7Gmaj7          E minorEm
Every single word of the conversation we just had
