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