[Note]
Picking pattern is played in the verses, pre-chorus and outro.
In the chorus mainly play the bass notes on the low D string hit the A string in between.
When playing only chords mainly hit the lower strings for the best sound! :)
The strumming for the chorus should all be played muted, but as there's no way to represent a strum which
is both muted and accented, the heavier strums have been left unmuted to show the contrast.

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 just stood there like a ghost
[Pre-Chorus]
Dadd4 Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body Gmaj7 Em 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... Gmaj7 Em 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... Gmaj7 Em why am I like this?
[Verse 2]
Dadd4 I saw a girl crying on the train Gmaj7 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
[Chorus]
Dadd4 So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I... Gmaj7 Em 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... Gmaj7 Em 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... Gmaj7 Em 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... Gmaj7 Em why am I like this?
[Outro]
Dadd4 Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body Gmaj7 Em Maybe you don’t really want me there... Dadd4 I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over Gmaj7 Em Every single word of the conversation we just had
