Verse:
A5
Can't stop, gotta get up and run
      E5
Don't walk, never, ever show emotions
        A5
Nonstop talk
                                       E5
Slow down and you'll never get back on track, Attacked from all directions

Verse:
A                                          E
Beat street, feel the rhythm beneath your feet
                             A
Apathetic, copacetic joie de vivre
                              E
Type 2 as the enneagram displays, And I'm always exhausted

Chorus:
D     A      E
Don't ask me why, It's a complicated tale
D   A        E
My hands are tied
    B
Too tight to lift this veil
D   A       E
Of darkest night
            B          D
And all the promises I made
             A              E
When I would always let you down, And I will always let you down

Verse:
  A                                  E
I can't see when the moon is a mystery
                                A
Mawkish tonics of a tragic century, Tongue-tied is the motto
            E
The crest I wear to carry out connection
A                                          E
Dreadnought, shoving everything in one spot
                                 A
Qualifying all the money that I shot, On high hopes for a mentally chill parade
E
But I'm still fucking anxious

Chorus:
D     A      E
Don't ask me why, It's a complicated tale
D   A        E
My hands are tied
    B
Too tight to lift this veil
D   A       E
Of darkest night
            B          D
And all the promises I made
             A              E
When I would always let you down, And I will always let you down

B           E              C#5            F#5
When I was small, I made a lot of mistakes
B           E                 C#5               D5
Then I grew up and learned it wasn't quite that way
B               E           C#5            D5
If I had known back then it wasn't my fault
B             E            B           E
It might have affected the way that I acted
B               E           B       E          A
With confidence instead of hiding behind it all

Chorus:
D      A      E
Don't ask me why, it's complicated
D   A        E    B
My hands are tied
D      A     E
Don't ask me why
               B
It's just the circumstance I'm in
D      A     E
Don't ask me why
              B
Might be the color of my skin
D     A      E
Don't ask me why
            B          D
I make the promises I make
             A              E   B
When I just always let you down
D          A              E
And I will always let you down
        B
I will always let you down
