Intro
Dm F C G
Dm F C G F
[Verse 1]
C
I bury all my secrets deep
Em
I scream out loud when I'm asleep
Dm
I smashed the mirror more than twice
Fsus2
I have no problem telling lies
C
I drowned a bird when I was eight
Em
I have a hard time telling love from hate
Dm
The list is long, my temper short
Fsus2
I don’t know what I'm looking for
[Chorus]
Dm F C
I wanna know the shape I'm in
G
The shape I’m in
Dm F C G Fsus2
I wanna know before I'm outta here, I'm outta here
[Verse 2]
C
I trembled when I heard his voice
Em
And still it sounds the loudest noise
Dm
It shakes me 'til I can't stand up
Fsus2
I tend to drink until I drop
C
And just like him I roam these streets
Em
I'm trying hard to tame the beast
Dm
That's in our blood for a hundred years
Fsus2
I swear I'll make it disappear
[Chorus]
Dm F C
I want you to know the shape I’m in
G
The shape I’m in
Dm F C G
I want you to know before you're outta here, you’re outta here
Dm F
I want you to know
[Solo]
Dm Cm7 Dm F
[Verse 3]
C
I found a bird out on the street
Em
With broken wings, it would not eat
Dm
I patched it up and took it home
Fsus2
I would not leave that bird alone
C
And I opened up the windows wide
Em
Until one day it flew outside
Dm
And it sang a song I've never known
Fsus2
I hope someday I'll sing my own
[Outro]
Dm F C G
I want you to know
(Repeat and fade)
