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