The Shape I'm In chords by Sterling Drake

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Verse:
      E
It's living between the lines
       C#m
Of new houses and pines
      E          F#m  B7
When nobody cares
                       F#m  B
What used to live there


Verse:
             E
And it's pretending that I'm fine

The passing of time
          A         F#m  F#m   B
And that everything ends

             F#m   F#m  B
Where do I begin


Chorus:
                   E
With the shape I'm in
                   F#m  F#m  B
The shape that I'm in


Verse:
      E
It's clinging to the one's we love
       C#m               E                F#m     F#m  B
In the face of time and space above that helps us
                       F#m    F#m  B
At the least brings us comfort


Verse:
              E
And it's the gripping thing that keeps me awake at night
       A             F#m7    F#m7  B
As my mind starts to wonder
                        F#m   F#m  B
It's the spell that I'm under


Chorus:
                       E
And it's the shape I'm in
                   F#m  F#m  B
The shape that I'm in
                   E     E
It's the shape I'm in


Instrumental:
F#m     B     F#m7    B7


Verse:
          E
It's the calm

The voice on the phone
                 F#m   F#  F#m
Of a man that is aging
        b       F#m      A  B&
Of the man who raised me

          E
It's the time we've lost with the one's we loved
                                             F#m    F#m  B
The pain we caused and the stars above that shape us

                   F#m7  F#m7  B
How do I explain it

N.C.                      E
And it's the shape I'm in
