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