Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Am G C F

[Verse 1]
Am G
I wear a mask with a smile
C
For hours at a time
F
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back
Am
what’s on my mind
G
And when they ask me how I’m doing
C
I say “I’m just fine”
F
And when they ask me how I’m doing
F
I say “I’m just fine”

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
But the fact is
C F
I can never get off of my mattress
Am
And all that they can ask is
C F
“Why are you so sad, kid?”
Am
That’s what the mask is
C F
That’s what the point of the mask is

[Chorus]
Am
So you can see I’m trying
C
You won’t see me crying
F
I’ll just keep on smiling, I’m good
Am
And it just keeps on piling
C
It’s so terrifying
F
But I keep on smiling, I’m good
Am C
I’ve been caring too much for so long
F
Been comparing myself for so long
Am C
Been wearing a smile
F
For so long it’s real
F
For so long it’s real
Am
For so long it’s real

[Verse 2]
Am G
Always being judged by a
C
bunch of strange faces
F
Scared to go outside
Am
Haven’t seen the light in ages
G
But I’ve been places
C
So I’m okay-ish
F
So I’m okay

[Pre-Chorus]
F Am
Yeah, I’m okay bitch, but the fact is
C F
I need help I’m failing all my classes
Am
They think that I need glasses
C F
I just really wish that I could pass this
Am
That’s what the mask is
C F
That’s what the point of the mask is

[Chorus]
Am
So you can see I’m trying
C
You won’t see me crying
F
I’ll just keep on smiling, I’m good
Am
And it just keeps on piling
C
It’s so terrifying
F
But I keep on smiling, I’m good
Am C
I’ve been caring too much for so long
F
Been comparing myself for so long
Am C
Been wearing a smile
F
For so long it’s real
F
For so long it’s real
Am
For so long it’s real
C F
So long it’s real
Am
So long it’s real

[Outro]
Am C F
