These are the chords for Chaotic by Tate McRae on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
A#  Dm  C

[Verse 1]
            A#
I have this paralyzing fear
                    Dm
that I'll maybe go nowhere
           C
But God forbid me ever
                      C
 admitting I could be scared
            A#
And I can't stand my friends right now,
                     Dm
 we got nothing in common
          C
But being lonely's worse than
                                C
just having friends that don't care

            A#
You said it looks like
            Dm
I've been going through hell
C                 C
How did you know? How could you tell?

Ask me to explain myself, well

[Chorus]
              A#
I'm trying my best here
                Dm
to be brutally honest
            C
Nobody said changing would
         C
be this exhausting
              A#
A foot on the break 'cause
                      Dm
it's been making me carsick

How could you blame me?
Growing up is chaotic

Don't wanna say it but

It might seem stupid but I still
                         C
look through all of our texts
              A#
Who knew that wanting someonе
                          Dm
could ever make mе this desperate
                         C         C
Don't think I'll do that again, no

[Pre-Chorus]

 been going through hell
C                 C
How did you know? How could you tell?
    A#            Dm         C
You ask me to explain myself, well
