[Verse]
Dadd4 Last night I smoked a cigarette
Gmaj7 Em My dad would have been so upset
Dadd4 Then we got tattoos by the coast
Gmaj7 Em And I stood there just like a ghost
[Pre-Chorus]
Dadd4 Maybe I’m an old soul trapped
In a young body
Gmaj7 Maybe you don’t really want me
Em
There at your birthday party
Dadd4 I’ll be there in the corner,
Thinking right over
Gmaj7 Every single word of the
Em
conversation we just had [Chorus]
Dadd4 So why am I like this? Why am
I like this? Why am
I like this?
Why am I
Gmaj7 Why am I like this? Why am
Em
I like this? Why am
I like this?
Why am I Dadd4 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?
[Verse]
Dadd4 I saw a girl crying
On the train
Gmaj7 Gin and tonic from
Em
a can to ease the pain
Dadd4 I never asked if she was OK
Gmaj7 Em She just got up and walked away [Bridge]
Bm A It's like I'm looking down
Em
from the ceiling above
G5 Never in the moment,
Never giving enough
Bm A Let’s go out and shout
Em
the words we never said
G5 I got my mistakes on loop inside
My head, inside my head [Chorus]
Dadd4 So why am I like this? Why am
I like this? Why am
I like this?
Why am I... Gmaj7 Why am I like this? Why am
Em
I like this? Why am I like this?
Why am I
Dadd4 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?
Dadd4 So why am I like this? Why am
I like this? Why am
I like this?
Why am I
Gmaj7 Why am I like this? Why am
Em
I like this? Why am
I like this?
Why am I
Dadd4 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? [Outro] Dadd4 Maybe I’m an old soul
trapped in a young body
Gmaj7 Maybe you don’t really
Em
want me there
Dadd4 I’ll be there in the corner,
Thinking right over
Gmaj7 Every single word of the
Em
Conversation we just had
