Cynical

C C Am F

C             C
I don't know when I got scared
Am           F
Scared of my imagination
C           C
Used to see beautiful things
Am              F
Now I got this sick fixation

      C                        C
I'm playing out every single fear I've ever had
Am                                      F
Scrolling through the pictures, seeing all I don't have
   C                          C
Believing every negative feeling is a fact
   Am                       F
I don't wanna get used to that

 C                    Am                 Em
Why do I beat myself up and tear myself down?
         F
I'm so good at being critical
C             Am                     Em
I guess I'll learn it's hard to get hurt
              F
When you're good at being cynical
C C Am F

C               C
I'm jealous of when I was young
       Am           F
And everything was right there waiting
C              C
Wanted the sky, aimed so high
Am                      F
Instead of lowering my expectations

    C                              C
I don't know how else to keep my feet on the ground
      Am                              F
And stop the voices in my head from getting too loud
    C                           C
I think I'm realizing no one figures it out
    Am                   F
And I gotta get used to that

 C                    Am                 Em
Why do I beat myself up and tear myself down?
         F
I'm so good at being critical
C             Am                     Em
I guess I'll learn it's hard to get hurt
              F
When you're good at being cynical
C Am Em F

G                         Am     F
If I hope and it doesn't work, then
                    Am        G
I know, it's gonna hurt, so I'll
                               Am
Make a joke, act like nothing wrong
    F                      Dm
And put another layer of armor on

 C                   Am                   Em   F
Why do I beat myself up and tear myself down?

 C                    Am                 Em
Why do I beat myself up and tear myself down?
         F
I'm so good at being critical
C             Am                     Em
I guess I'll learn it's hard to get hurt
              F
