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