Intro
C#m E B F#
C#m E B F# E
[Verse 1]
B
I bury all my secrets deep
D#m
I scream out loud when I'm asleep
C#m
I smashed the mirror more than twice
Esus2
I have no problem telling lies
B
I drowned a bird when I was eight
D#m
I have a hard time telling love from hate
C#m
The list is long, my temper short
Esus2
I don’t know what I'm looking for
[Chorus]
C#m E B
I wanna know the shape I'm in
F#
The shape I’m in
C#m E B F# Esus2
I wanna know before I'm outta here, I'm outta here
[Verse 2]
B
I trembled when I heard his voice
D#m
And still it sounds the loudest noise
C#m
It shakes me 'til I can't stand up
Esus2
I tend to drink until I drop
B
And just like him I roam these streets
D#m
I'm trying hard to tame the beast
C#m
That's in our blood for a hundred years
Esus2
I swear I'll make it disappear
[Chorus]
C#m E B
I want you to know the shape I’m in
F#
The shape I’m in
C#m E B F#
I want you to know before you're outta here, you’re outta here
C#m E
I want you to know
[Solo]
C#m Bm7 C#m E
[Verse 3]
B
I found a bird out on the street
D#m
With broken wings, it would not eat
C#m
I patched it up and took it home
Esus2
I would not leave that bird alone
B
And I opened up the windows wide
D#m
Until one day it flew outside
C#m
And it sang a song I've never known
Esus2
I hope someday I'll sing my own
[Outro]
C#m E B F#
I want you to know
(Repeat and fade)
