A#m C# G# D# C#
[Verse 1]
G#
I bury all my secrets deep
Cm
I scream out loud when I'm asleep
A#m
I smashed the mirror more than twice
C#sus2
I have no problem telling lies
G#
I drowned a bird when I was eight
Cm
I have a hard time telling love from hate
A#m
The list is long, my temper short
C#sus2
I don’t know what I'm looking for
[Chorus]
A#m C# G#
I wanna know the shape I'm in
D#
The shape I’m in
A#m C# G# D# C#sus2
I wanna know before I'm outta here, I'm outta here
[Verse 2]
G#
I trembled when I heard his voice
Cm
And still it sounds the loudest noise
A#m
It shakes me 'til I can't stand up
C#sus2
I tend to drink until I drop
G#
And just like him I roam these streets
Cm
I'm trying hard to tame the beast
A#m
That's in our blood for a hundred years
C#sus2
I swear I'll make it disappear
[Chorus]
A#m C# G#
I want you to know the shape I’m in
D#
The shape I’m in
A#m C# G# D#
I want you to know before you're outta here, you’re outta here
A#m C#
I want you to know
[Solo]
A#m G#m7 A#m C#
[Verse 3]
G#
I found a bird out on the street
Cm
With broken wings, it would not eat
A#m
I patched it up and took it home
C#sus2
I would not leave that bird alone
G#
And I opened up the windows wide
Cm
Until one day it flew outside
A#m
And it sang a song I've never known
C#sus2
I hope someday I'll sing my own
[Outro]
A#m C# G# D#
I want you to know
(Repeat and fade)
