Changing Shape Chords

(ver. 1)
Grace Petrie
[Intro]
G  Em D C G  Em D C G Em D C G D C

[Verse 1]
     G                              Em      C           G
I’ve come to show you every scar my soul achieved since birth
   G                             Em      C      G
To offer up my soul and all its contents to the earth
   G                                   Em      C         G
So you can give it all a price tag and tell me what I’m worth
             D                  C
But I’m just trying to make you love me

[Verse 2]
   G                                Em      C       G
I used to think I wrote my words to try and make a spark
   G                                Em         C      G
To light the way for others who are struggling in the dark
    G                                   Em           C       G
But now I know I only write them in the hope they’ll leave a mark,
               D                  C
Yeah, I’m just trying to make you love me

G Em C G

[Chorus]
   D                         C          G
So tie me to a chair I wanna climb the walls
  D                                   C     G
I opened up the  floodgates and I got waterfalls
  Em                     D             C              G
I took everything that I learned and I sung it out on tape
      Em            D                C                G
For I used to be a child and now I’m just a different shape
       Em           D                 C                G
Yeah I used to be a child and now I’m just a different shape

G Em C G

[Verse 3]
G                                  Em     C     G
Laying awake in bed last night it hit me in a flash
G                                   Em           C      G
The reason that I wear my pain like badges on a sash
G                                  Em      C           G
The reason that I wear it like a forehead crossed with ash
       D                  C
Is I’m trying to make you love me

[Verse 4]
    G                             Em       C      G
To every long lost friend I never meant to drift apart
    G                              Em    C    G
To every single in crowd that I’ll never be a part
    G                              Em    C   G
To every enemy and every girl that broke my heart
           D                   C
I was just trying to make you love me

G Em C G

[Chorus]
     D                          C         G
So tie me to a chair I want to climb the walls
   D                                  C    G
I opened up the  floodgates and I got waterfalls
 Em               D                  C             G
I took all of my broken heart and I sung it out on tape
          Em            D              C               G
Because once I fell in love and I fell out a different shape
         Em             D           C                G
Oh every time I fell in love I fell out a different shape

G Em C G

[Verse 5]
    G                            Em     C    G
For every time I’ve ever felt myself under attack
    G                           Em       C    G
For everything I wish I was and all I’ll ever lack
     G                           Em      C      G
Especially for you folks who are talking at the back
                  D                  C
Can’t you see I’m trying to make you love me

[Verse 6]
   G                                Em     C         G
But I could use this microphone for stories not like this
      G                                 Em    C        G
Where I’m not such a victim, you know I never take the risk
     G                                             Em   C        G
For when the curtain falls, tomorrow calls and I’m just a narcissist,
            D                  C
Who’s still trying to make you love me.

G Em C G

[Chorus]
   D                            C         G
So tie me to a chair I want to climb the walls
   D                                  C     G
I opened up the  floodgates and I got waterfalls
  Em              D                C              G
I took everything that I had and I sung it out on tape
    Em            D                  C                  G
Everybody else is aging I think that I’m just changing shape
        Em            D                     C                G
Oh everybody else is growing, I think that I’m just changing shape.
