Downer

 
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

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 
 

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

  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 
 

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

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

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