NOTE: The first verse is played by picking the strings. Technically the first chorus is as well, but since the song stars using bigger piano chords there, you could choose to just start strumming guitar chords instead. For both, the picking is this: Intro: Am Fmaj7 C G e|-----------------------------------------------------------| B|----1------1------1------1-----1------1-------0--------0---| G|-------2-------------2------------2---------------0--------| D|----------------3------3-----------------------------------| A|-0-------0-------------------3------3----------------------| E|-------------------------------------------3--------3------| h - Hammer on Verse: Am F Would you call the police C G If I don't answer anything? Am F How did I get this deep? C G I guess I'll just keep digging in Am F I've been up losing sleep C G Overthinking everything Am F Are you reaching for me? C G Am I just not listening?
Chorus: Am F C G Oh, I just can't help but spiral Am F C G Is the chaos simply fueled to make me feel something? Am F C G And, oh, I just can't break this cycle Am G F F Going 'round and 'round, I'm downward spiraling NC Here I go again Post-chorus: Am Am F F C C G G Down, down, down Verse: Am F Fill the glass, drink, repeat C G It's the usual way I deal with it Am F Oh, I try therapy C G But I don't feel any different Am F Scream it out, then release C G Are the problems insignificant Am F If you're seeing somebody? C G And the grass is greener, isn't it? Chorus: Am F C G Oh, I just can't help but spiral Am F C G Is the chaos simply fueled to make me feel something? Am F C G And, oh, I just can't break this cycle Am F C G And I try to patch these cracks but the dark keeps creeping in Am G F F Going 'round and 'round, I'm downward spiraling F Here I go again Post-chorus: Am Am Down, down F F Here I go again C C G G Down, down Bridge: Am Am F Late night tossing and turning in my, my bed F C Constant thoughts in my, my head C G I'll keep worrying 'til I'm dead G I'll keep worrying Am Am F Late night tossing and turning in my, my bed F C Constant thoughts in my, my head C G I'll keep worrying 'til I'm dead G I'll keep worrying Chorus: Am F C G Oh, I just can't help but spiral Am F C G Is the chaos simply fueled to make me feel something? Am F C G And, oh, I just can't break this cycle Am F C G And I try to patch these cracks but the dark keeps creeping in Am G F F Going 'round and 'round, I'm downward spiraling NC Here I go again
