[Verse 1]
D
Last night I smoked a cigarette
G                             Em
My dad would have been so upset
D
Then we got tattoos by the coast
G                               Em
And I just stood there like a ghost
 
[Pre-Chorus]
             D
Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body
                G                            Em
Maybe you don’t really want me there at your birthday party
        D
I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
G                        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...
G                            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...
G                    Em
why am I like this?
 
[Verse 2]
D
I saw a girl crying on the train
G                                    Em
Gin and tonic from a can to ease the pain
D
I never asked if she was OK
G                           Em
She just got up and walked away
 
[Bridge]
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]
D
So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
G                            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...
G                    Em
why am I like this?
D
So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
G                            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...
G                    Em
why am I like this?
 
[Outro]
             D
Maybe I’m an old soul trapped in a young body
                G                       Em
Maybe you don’t really want me there...
        D
I’ll be there in the corner, thinking right over
G                        Em
Every single word of the conversation we just had
