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