Capo: 6th fret
[Verse 1]
G
I gamble big for the smallest pot, I know it’s not
C
Enough to change what’s been going on, but it’s all I got
Em
I misjudge and switch up, from target to target
C
Miscalculate what it is that I want
G
Swimming in circles, in search of substance
C Em
In shallow waters, it don’t mean nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
C
How can an optimist be cynical?
[Chorus]
G
So, if I’m honest
C
I think I’m beginning to question how much I want this
Em
Overloaded serial stresser, I’m sitting nauseous
C
Panic on a loop in my head, I’m chronically cautious
N.C.
How can I get off this?
G
To keep it simple
C
I think I’ve been willingly following every impulse
Em
Picturing a future, then tossing it out the window
C
Suffocate the fire I started right when it kindles
N.C.
Passionate but fickle
[Verse 2]
G
The source of my serotonin is only digital
C
‘Cause my reality’s fading, I guess it’s typical
Em
Can switch back, it’s mismatched in dopamine
C
Get whiplash, it hits fast, controlling me
G
Swerving in silence, I’m all alone
C Em
In traffic, I’m trapped and I can’t find home
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I’m an optimist who’s cynical. (That’s f’king miserable)
[Chorus]
G
So, if I’m honest
C
I think I’m beginning to question how much I want this
