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