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