Gm A# F C A#
[Verse 1]
F
I bury all my secrets deep
Am
I scream out loud when I'm asleep
Gm
I smashed the mirror more than twice
A#sus2
I have no problem telling lies
F
I drowned a bird when I was eight
Am
I have a hard time telling love from hate
Gm
The list is long, my temper short
A#sus2
I don’t know what I'm looking for
[Chorus]
Gm A# F
I wanna know the shape I'm in
C
The shape I’m in
Gm A# F C A#sus2
I wanna know before I'm outta here, I'm outta here
[Verse 2]
F
I trembled when I heard his voice
Am
And still it sounds the loudest noise
Gm
It shakes me 'til I can't stand up
A#sus2
I tend to drink until I drop
F
And just like him I roam these streets
Am
I'm trying hard to tame the beast
Gm
That's in our blood for a hundred years
A#sus2
I swear I'll make it disappear
[Chorus]
Gm A# F
I want you to know the shape I’m in
C
The shape I’m in
Gm A# F C
I want you to know before you're outta here, you’re outta here
Gm A#
I want you to know
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
F
I found a bird out on the street
Am
With broken wings, it would not eat
Gm
I patched it up and took it home
A#sus2
I would not leave that bird alone
F
And I opened up the windows wide
Am
Until one day it flew outside
Gm
And it sang a song I've never known
A#sus2
I hope someday I'll sing my own
[Outro]
Gm A# F C
I want you to know
