[Intro]
G C/E F x2
 
[Verse]
G                     C/E         F
This is good, this is great, it's okay yeah, I'm in control
             G                     C/E           F
Things are golden, they're goin' my way, yeah I'm on a roll
             G                 C/E         F
Feels like I got it all figured out, carry myself like I own this town
G                     C/E                   F
This is good, this is great, looking up for sure
 
Then it all comes crashing down
 
 
[Chorus]
C/E      G              Am                              F
'Cause I always hit the switch (Switch, switch) and the tables start to flip
C/E               G
Why do I do that? Why do I do that?
Am                F
Why do I do that? Why do I do that? (Oh, whoa)
C/E      G               Am        F
Then the walls come up again, the beginning starts to end
C/E               G
Why do I do that? Why do I do that?
Am                F
Why do I do that? Why do I do that? (Oh, whoa)
 
 
[Verse]
G                    C/E
Holding tight to the plans in my hands
         F
Til they slip away (Slip away, slip away, slip away)
G               C/E              F
Criticize every idea that I ever have to make (Have to make, have to make)
G                                 C/E
Caught in the act putting on that show
             F
Keep up the pace 'til my feet get cold
G                     C/E                  F
Workin' hard, get the spark in my heart to blaze
N.C
Til it all goes up in smoke
 
 
[Chorus]
C/E      G              Am                              F
'Cause I always hit the switch (Switch, switch) and the tables start to flip
C/E               G
Why do I do that? Why do I do that?
Am                F
Why do I do that? Why do I do that? (Oh, whoa)
C/E      G             F
Then the walls come up again, the beginning starts to end
C/E               G
Why do I do that? Why do I do that?
F
Why do I do that? Why do I do that? (Oh, whoa)
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
C/E  G  Am  F
Ooh, ooh (Oh, whoa)
C/E  G  Am F
Ooh, ooh (Oh, whoa)
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G                     C/E         F
This is good, this is great, it's okay yeah, I'm in control
N.C
(In control, in control in control) Then it all comes crashing down
 
 
[Chorus]
C/E      G              Am                              F
'Cause I always hit the switch (Switch, switch) and the tables start to flip
C/E               G
Why do I do that? Why do I do that?
Am                F
Why do I do that? Why do I do that? (Oh, whoa)
C/E      G             Am          F
Then the walls come up again, the beginning starts to end
C/E               G
Why do I do that? Why do I do that?
Am                F
Why do I do that? Why do I do that? (Oh, whoa)
