Album: The Nashville Sound (2017)

Chorus:
D C      D                         G
Anxiety, how do you always get the best of me
C            D           Em       D  C
I'm out here living in a fantasy
C         D             Em
I can't enjoy a goddamn thing
D C      D                            Em
Anxiety, why am I never where I am supposed to be
C            D              Em          D C
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
C         D               Em
I'm wide awake and I'm in pain

C            D                         Em      D  C
Watching the sunrise slash through the blinds
C           D                 Em
Dust in the room hovers over mine
              C                 D                                   Em
Lying here in silence, Wife and child still sleeping deep enough to dream
              C                       D                                     Em
And oh, I'm a lucky man today but so afraid that time will take it all from me

Chorus:
D C      D                         G
Anxiety, how do you always get the best of me
C            D           Em       D  C
I'm out here living in a fantasy
C         D             Em
I can't enjoy a goddamn thing
D C      D                            Em
Anxiety, why am I never where I am supposed to be
C            D              Em          D C
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
C         D               Em
I'm wide awake and I'm in pain

C            D                         Em      D  C
It's the weight of the world but it's nothing at all
C           D                 Em
Light as a prayer, and then I feel myself fall
              C                      D                                     Em
You got to give me a minute because I'm way down in it and I can't breathe so I can't speak
              C                       D                                     Em
I want to be strong and steady, always ready, now, I feel so small, I feel so weak

Chorus:
D C      D                         G
Anxiety, how do you always get the best of me
C            D           Em       D  C
I'm out here living in a fantasy
C         D             Em
I can't enjoy a goddamn thing
D C      D                            Em
Anxiety, why am I never where I am supposed to be
C            D              Em          D C
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
C         D               Em
I'm wide awake and I'm in pain

Bridge:
F         Am                G
A crowded room is a burning battlefield
F          Am                G
If I don't move, I'll come undone
F              Am               G
My heart beats harder, a hammer striking steel
F           Am                    Em
Will I walk now or be a "Wait and Run"

Chorus:
D C      D                         G
Anxiety, how do you always get the best of me
C            D           Em       D  C
I'm out here living in a fantasy
C         D             Em
I can't enjoy a goddamn thing
D C      D                            Em
Anxiety, why am I never where I am supposed to be
C            D              Em          D C
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
C         D               Em
I'm wide awake and I'm in pain
C         D               Em
I'm wide awake and I'm in pain
C         D               Em
