Verse 1:
Fmaj7                   C
Sharpener's callin' me again
                       Fmaj7
Tryin' to turn it into some-
                         C
thing I can draw into my skin
Fmaj7                      C
  Make it a picture that I love
                            Fmaj7
Instead of something that I wish
                                        C
I could get in the bath and scrub right off
 
Chorus:
          C         Am        Dm    Fmaj7
Why am I ashamed to look the way I do?
               C        Am            Dm           Fmaj7
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you
 
Interlude -x2-: C Am Dm Fmaj7
 
Verse 2:
Fmaj7                       C
  Big old pill to inch around
                            Fmaj7
There's no copping out this time
                      C
Try my best to get it down -Get, get, get, get it down-
Fmaj7                                C
  Sometimes seems like I'm still young
                              Fmaj7
Lookin' at the boy across the sink
                                       C
Thinking "What the hell have you just done?" 

-"What the hell have you just done?"-
 
Chorus:
          C         Am       Dm    Fmaj7
Why am I ashamed to look the way I do?
               C        Am            Dm    Fmaj7
All ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you
          C        Am       Dm            Fmaj7
Why am I afraid of things I let inside my room?
                 C     Am           Dm      Fmaj7
Just wanted some company, broke the sharpener in two
 
Outro:
                  C           Dm
You say, why am I like this?
                   Fmaj7
You mean, why am I stupid?
            C   Dm                    Fmaj7
‘Cause you know you’re not trying to fix it
                   C          Dm
You mean, why am I like this?
                     Fmaj7
You say, why am I selfish?
           C    Dm                Fmaj7
‘Cause you know honey you can’t help it
