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