Sharpener

[Intro]
C G Em C

Em

[Verse 1]
C                            G
 Sharpener's calling me again
               Em          C
Trying to turn it into some
                             G
Thing I can draw into my skin
Em C                             G
    Make it a picture that I love
               Em               C
Instead of something that I wish
                                           G
I could get in the bath and scrub right off

[Chorus]
Em                C       Am       F     C
  Why am I ashamed to look  the way I do?
                    G     Am           F               C
All 'cause an escape to me  was just a sharpener to you

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C                           G
 Big old pill to inch around
              Em                C
There's no copping out this time
                          G
Try my best to get it down
Em C                                    G
    Sometimes seems like I'm still young
                   Em             C
Looking at the boy across the sink
                                            G
Thinking "What the hell have you just done?"

[Chorus]
Em                C       Am       F     C
  Why am I ashamed to look  the way I do?
                    G     Am           F            C
All 'cause an escape to me  was just a sharpener to you

[Post-Chorus]
               G         Am     F               C
Why am I afraid of things  I let inside my room?
                 G
Just wanted some company,
Am          F            C
  broke the sharpener in two

[Outro]
G Am F C
G Am F
C                      G
 You say, why am I like this?
Am                      F
  You mean, why am I stupid?
C               G
 'Cause you know
Am                        F
  you're not trying to fix it
C                       G
 You mean, why am I like this?
Am                     F
  You say, why am I selfish?
C                G Am
 'Cause you know,    honey,
              F  C
you can't help it
