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 D Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body Gmaj7 Maybe you don’t really want me there at your Em 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... 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?

I saw a girl crying on the train Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain And I never asked if she was okay She just got up and walked away Bm A Em It's like I'm looking down from the ceiling above G Never in the moment, never giving enough Bm A Em Let’s go out and shout the words we never said G I got my mistakes on loop inside my head, inside my head Chorus: So why am I like this?
