[Verse 1]
Bb I'm an optimistic pessimist, I'll root for the worst F Even when my life is great 'cause maybe I won't get hurt Gm If I'm looking for the bad Bb F Eb F Before it gets to me
[Chorus]
Cm Gm F 'Cause maybe I'm scared to say Bb D Gm That my life's going great Cm Gm F 'Cause when I turn my back Bb I feel it might run away, run away, run away Cm Bb F Ohh-ohh-ohh Bb Why am I this way? D Gm Why am I this way? Cm Gm F So worried about tomorrow Bb I forget to live today, live today, live today Cm F Bb Mmmm-mmm-mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
[Verse 2]
Bb I guess I try to divvy out the pain, so I don't feel the blow F Of disappointment every time it rains, so I just jump the boat Gm Before the things I love turned into smoke Bb F Gm But that's all in my head F And I'm starting to think
[Chorus]
Cm Gm F Maybe I'm scared to say Bb D Gm That my life's going great Cm Gm F 'Cause when I turn my back Bb I feel it might run away, run away, run away Cm Bb F Ohh-ohh-ohh Bb Why am I this way? D Gm Why am I this way? Cm Gm F So worried about tomorrow Bb I forget to live today, live today, live today Cm F Bb D Gm Cm F Bb Gm Cm F La la la la...
[Chorus]
Cm Gm F 'Cause maybe I'm scared to say Gm F Bb That my life's going great Cm Gm F 'Cause when I turn my back Bb I feel it might run away, run away, run away Cm Gm F Ohh-ohh-ohh Bb Why am I this way? D Gm Why am I this way? Cm Gm F So worried about tomorrow Bb I forget to live today, live today, live today Gm F Bb And I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid anymore
