[Verse 1]
 D
Gonna raise a glass to all
my broken hopes and dreams
 D
Gonna make a toast to myself,
doubting self esteem
 Bm
Talking to my mirror but
she don't know
Bm
Get myself together I'm a no-show
 D
I'll be home for dinner if
I don't track of time
    D
My mother raised a sinner but
I don't think she minds
 Bm
Read it in the tea leaves
I knew better
 Bm
Told our game to strangers
see ya later

[Pre-Chorus]
  A                     F#m
Traded all the chips I doubt
 G
Then walk home chucks hit the ground

[Chorus]
                  D
It's keeping me guessing
Now I'm stressing
And I'm losing all control
             Bm
Opposites attract and all that crap
Oh I'm barely holding on
  A
Creeping up I'm paralysed
Don't know where to fall
                  G
It's keeping me guessing
Keeping me guessing

[Verse 2]
 D
Parked outside my house staring
at my steering wheel
     D
The answers that I circle
gonna be the big reveal
 Bm
Hyperventilating in the bathroom
 Bm
Just give a minute I'll be out soon

[Pre-Chorus]
 A                         F#m
Tried to call the lines I doubt
 G
Then walk home chucks hit the ground

[Chorus]
                  D
It's keeping me guessing
Now I'm stressing
And I'm losing all control
             Bm
Opposites attract and all that crap
Oh I'm barely holding on
  A
Creeping up I'm paralysed
Don't know where to fall
                  G

[Bridge]
 A                       F#m
Bittersweet but it's the end
  G
Tried my best but can't pretend
  A                       F#m
Crossed the line just to begin
  G
Never do that shit again

[Chorus]
                  D
It's keeping me guessing
Now I'm stressing
And I'm losing all control

Opposites attract and all that crap
Oh I'm barely holding on
  A
Creeping up I'm paralysed
Don't know where to fall
                  G
It's keeping me guessing
Keeping me guessing

[Outro]
D   Bm   A   G   D
