Chronically Cautious

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 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
