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