[Intro] | Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 | G | Em | | Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 | G | Em | [Verse 1]
Cmaj7                   G
Sharpener's callin' me again

           Em           Cmaj7
Tryin' to turn it into some-

                         G     Em
thing I can draw into my skin

Cmaj7                      G
  Make it a picture that I love

             Em              Cmaj7
Instead of something that I wish

                                        G     Em
I could get in the bath and scrub right off
[Chorus]
          Cmaj7     Am        F    C
Why am I ashamed to look the way I do?

               G        Am            F           C
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you
[Interlude] G Am F C G Am F C [Verse 2]
Cmaj7                       G
  Big old pill to inch around

           Em                Cmaj7
There's no copping out this time

                      G                                 Em
Try my best to get it down (Get, get, get, get it down)

Cmaj7                                G
  Sometimes seems like I'm still young

               Em              Cmaj7
Lookin' at the boy across the sink

                                       G                                           Em
Thinking "What the hell have you just done?" ("What the hell have you just done?")
[Chorus]
          Cmaj7     Am       F     C
Why am I ashamed to look the way I do?

               G        Am            F             C
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you

          G        Am       F              C
Why am I afraid of things I let inside my room?

                 G     Am           F            C
Just wanted some company, broke the sharpener in two
[Interlude] G Am Fmaj7 C G Am Fmaj7 C [Outro]
                  G           Am
You say, why am I like this?

                   Fmaj7    C
You mean, why am I stupid?

            G   Am                   Fmaj7   C
‘Cause you know you’re not trying to fix it

                   G           Am
You mean, why am I like this?

                   Fmaj7    C
You say, why am I selfish?

           G    Am              Fmaj7    C
‘Cause you know honey you can’t help it
