Verse 1:
D    
Last night I smoked a cigarette
Gmaj7                         Em
My dad would have been so upset
D    
Then we got tattoos by the coast
Gmaj7                           Em
And I just stood there like a ghost

Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body
                Gmaj7                        Em
Maybe you don’t really want me there at your birthday party
        D    
I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
Gmaj7                    Em
Every single word of the conversation we just had

Chorus:
D    
So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...

Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...

Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...

why am I like this?

Verse 2:
D    
I saw a girl crying on the train
Gmaj7                                Em
Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain
D    
I never asked if she was OK
Gmaj7                       Em
She just got up and walked away

Bridge:
Bm                      A                        Em
  It's like I'm looking down from the ceiling above
             G5
Never in the moment, never giving enough
Bm                 A                             Em
  Let’s go out and shout the words we never said
            G5
I got my mistakes on loop inside my head, inside my head

Chorus:
D    
So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...

So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7                        Em
Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
D    
Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7                Em
why am I like this?

Maybe you don’t really want me there...
        D    
I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
Gmaj7                    Em
