Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 6th

Key: F#F#

Verse 1:
G+G
 I gamble big for the smallest pot
I know it's not
C majorC
 Enough to change what's been going on, but it's all I got
E minorEm
 I misjudge and switch up, from target to target


C majorC
 Miscalculate what it is that I want
G+G
 Swimming in circles, in search of substance
C majorC                  E minorEm
 In shallow waters, it don't mean nothing

Pre-Chorus:
                C majorC
How can an optimist be cynical?


Chorus:
      G+G
So, if I'm honest
                       C majorC
I think I'm beginning to question how much I want this
                    E minorEm
Overloaded serial stresser
I'm sitting nauseous
                      C majorC
Panic on a loop in my head
I'm chronically cautious
N.C.
How can I get off this?

      G+G
To keep it simple
                       C majorC
I think I've been willingly following every impulse
                       E minorEm
Picturing a future, then tossing it out the window
                      C majorC
Suffocate the fire I started right when it kindles
N.C.
Passionate but fickle

Verse 2:
G+G
 The source of my serotonin is only digital
C majorC
 'Cause my reality's fading
I guess it's typical
E minorEm
 Can switch back, it's mismatched in dopamine
C majorC
 Get whiplash, it hits fast, controlling me
G+G
 Swerving in silence
I'm all alone
C majorC                      E minorEm
 In traffic
I'm trapped and I can't find home


Pre-Chorus:
                C majorC
I'm an optimist who's cynical.  (That's f'king miserable)


Chorus:
      G+G
So, if I'm honest

I think I'm beginning to question how much I want this
                    E minorEm
Overloaded serial stresser
I'm sitting nauseous
