F#m A E B A
[Verse 1]
I bEury all my secrets deep
I sG#mcream out loud when I'm asleep
I sF#mmashed the mirror more than twice
I hAsus2ave no problem telling lies
I dErowned a bird when I was eight
I hG#mave a hard time telling love from hate
The lF#mist is long, my temper short
I dAsus2on’t know what I'm looking for
[Chorus]
I F#mwanna kAnow the sEhape I'm in 
The Bshape I’m in 
F#mI wanna Aknow before I'm Eoutta here, I'm Boutta hereAsus2  
[Verse 2]
I tErembled when I heard his voice
And sG#mtill it sounds the loudest noise
It sF#mhakes me 'til I can't stand up 
I Asus2tend to drink until I drop 
And Ejust like him I roam these streets
I'm tG#mrying hard to tame the beast
That's iF#mn our blood for a hundred years
I sAsus2wear I'll make it disappear
[Chorus]
F#mI want you to Aknow the Eshape I’m in
The sBhape I’m in
I F#mwant you to kAnow before you're oEutta here, you’re oButta here
I F#mwant you to kAnow
[Solo]
F#m Em7 F#m A
  [Verse 3]
I fEound a bird out on the street
With bG#mroken wings, it would not eat
I pF#matched it up and took it home
I wAsus2ould not leave that bird alone 
And I Eopened up the windows wide 
UnG#mtil one day it flew outside
And it sF#mang a song I've never known
I hAsus2ope someday I'll sing my own
[Outro]
I wF#mant you to kAnow E  B

[Intro]

F#m A E B

F#m A E B A

[Verse 1]

I bury all my secrets deep

G#m

I scream out loud when I'm asleep

F#m

I smashed the mirror more than twice

Asus2

I have no problem telling lies

I drowned a bird when I was eight

G#m

I have a hard time telling love from hate

F#m

The list is long, my temper short

Asus2

I don’t know what I'm looking for

[Chorus]

F#m A E

I wanna know the shape I'm in

The shape I’m in

F#m A E B Asus2

I wanna know before I'm outta here, I'm outta here

[Verse 2]

I trembled when I heard his voice

G#m

And still it sounds the loudest noise

F#m

It shakes me 'til I can't stand up

Asus2

I tend to drink until I drop

And just like him I roam these streets

G#m

I'm trying hard to tame the beast

F#m

That's in our blood for a hundred years

Asus2

I swear I'll make it disappear

[Chorus]

F#m A E

I want you to know the shape I’m in

The shape I’m in

F#m A E B

I want you to know before you're outta here, you’re outta here

F#m A

I want you to know

[Solo]

F#m Em7 F#m A

[Verse 3]

I found a bird out on the street

G#m

With broken wings, it would not eat

F#m

I patched it up and took it home

Asus2

I would not leave that bird alone

And I opened up the windows wide

G#m

Until one day it flew outside

F#m

And it sang a song I've never known

Asus2

I hope someday I'll sing my own

[Outro]

F#m A E B

I want you to know
