Chords

[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
[Second guitar] A A E E A A E E [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
[Synth solo] A A E E A A E E [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
[Instrumental Bridge] B B E E C#m C#m F#m F#m B B E E C#m C#m D D [Bridge]
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
[Outro] A A E E A A E E
