Intro
Bm A D G
[Verse 1]
Bm A
I wear a mask with a smile
D
For hours at a time
G
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back
Bm
what's on my mind
A
And when they ask me how I'm doing
D
I say "I'm just fine"
G
And when they ask me how I'm doing
G
I say "I'm just fine"
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
But the fact is
D G
I can never get off of my mattress
Bm
And all that they can ask is
D G
"Why are you so sad, kid?"
Bm
That's what the mask is
D G
That's what the point of the mask is
[Chorus]
Bm
So you can see I'm trying
D
You won't see me crying
G
I'll just keep on smiling, I'm good
Bm
And it just keeps on piling
D
It's so terrifying
G
But I keep on smiling, I'm good
Bm D
I've been caring too much for so long
G
Been comparing myself for so long
Bm D
Been wearing a smile
G
For so long it's real
G
For so long it's real
Bm
For so long it's real
[Verse 2]
Bm A
Always being judged by a
D
bunch of strange faces
G
Scared to go outside
Bm
Haven't seen the light in ages
A
But I've been places
D
So I'm okay-ish
G
So I'm okay
[Pre-Chorus]
G Bm
Yeah, I'm okay bitch, but the fact is
D G
I need help I'm failing all my classes
Bm
They think that I need glasses
D G
I just really wish that I could pass this
Bm
That's what the mask is
D G
That's what the point of the mask is
[Chorus]
Bm
So you can see I'm trying
D
You won't see me crying
G
I'll just keep on smiling, I'm good
Bm
And it just keeps on piling
D
It's so terrifying
G
But I keep on smiling, I'm good
Bm D
I've been caring too much for so long
G
Been comparing myself for so long
Bm D
Been wearing a smile
G
For so long it's real
G
For so long it's real
Bm
For so long it's real
D G
So long it's real
Bm
So long it's real
