Intro
Em G D A
Em G D A G
[Verse 1]
D
I bury all my secrets deep
F#m
I scream out loud when I'm asleep
Em
I smashed the mirror more than twice
Gsus2
I have no problem telling lies
D
I drowned a bird when I was eight
F#m
I have a hard time telling love from hate
Em
The list is long, my temper short
Gsus2
I don’t know what I'm looking for
[Chorus]
Em G D
I wanna know the shape I'm in
A
The shape I’m in
Em G D A Gsus2
I wanna know before I'm outta here, I'm outta here
[Verse 2]
D
I trembled when I heard his voice
F#m
And still it sounds the loudest noise
Em
It shakes me 'til I can't stand up
Gsus2
I tend to drink until I drop
D
And just like him I roam these streets
F#m
I'm trying hard to tame the beast
Em
That's in our blood for a hundred years
Gsus2
I swear I'll make it disappear
[Chorus]
Em G D
I want you to know the shape I’m in
A
The shape I’m in
Em G D A
I want you to know before you're outta here, you’re outta here
Em G
I want you to know
[Solo]
Em Dm7 Em G
[Verse 3]
D
I found a bird out on the street
F#m
With broken wings, it would not eat
Em
I patched it up and took it home
Gsus2
I would not leave that bird alone
D
And I opened up the windows wide
F#m
Until one day it flew outside
Em
And it sang a song I've never known
Gsus2
I hope someday I'll sing my own
[Outro]
Em G D A
I want you to know
(Repeat and fade)
