Intro
Am C G D
Am C G D C
[Verse 1]
G
I bury all my secrets deep
Bm
I scream out loud when I'm asleep
Am
I smashed the mirror more than twice
Csus2
I have no problem telling lies
G
I drowned a bird when I was eight
Bm
I have a hard time telling love from hate
Am
The list is long, my temper short
Csus2
I don’t know what I'm looking for
[Chorus]
Am C G
I wanna know the shape I'm in
D
The shape I’m in
Am C G D Csus2
I wanna know before I'm outta here, I'm outta here
[Verse 2]
G
I trembled when I heard his voice
Bm
And still it sounds the loudest noise
Am
It shakes me 'til I can't stand up
Csus2
I tend to drink until I drop
G
And just like him I roam these streets
Bm
I'm trying hard to tame the beast
Am
That's in our blood for a hundred years
Csus2
I swear I'll make it disappear
[Chorus]
Am C G
I want you to know the shape I’m in
D
The shape I’m in
Am C G D
I want you to know before you're outta here, you’re outta here
Am C
I want you to know
[Solo]
Am Gm7 Am C
[Verse 3]
G
I found a bird out on the street
Bm
With broken wings, it would not eat
Am
I patched it up and took it home
Csus2
I would not leave that bird alone
G
And I opened up the windows wide
Bm
Until one day it flew outside
Am
And it sang a song I've never known
Csus2
I hope someday I'll sing my own
[Outro]
Am C G D
I want you to know
