D Em Bm
[Verse 1: Walker Hayes]
D
Before I even learned to play a note, I was on stage
Em
Mastering the art of selling myself at a young age
D
Fear and insecurity drove me like a Maserati
High school was like showing up at a costume party
Em
I was a comedian, an athlete
Bm
A golden boy, a black sheep
D
Whatever I had to be to make the world throw candy at me
Em Bm
And college was the same act, different play
D
It was October 31st every day
Bm
And the real world was an all too familiar street
Another trick, another treat
[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]
D Bm
Then I knock-knock-knocked on your door
D
Every mask I ever wore
Em Bm
Shattered like glass on the floor
A
And it was like
[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon]
D
Halloween ended
Bm
To all the people I pretended to be
D Em Bm
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
D
Halloween ended
Bm
To all the people I pretended to be
D Em Bm
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
[Verse 2: Walker Hayes]
D
Hell, I don’t know why I’m like this
Em
But what would it change if I knew
Bm
Maybe my parents messed up
But, hey, they’re just dressed up kids too
D Em
Maybe I guess what I’m trying to say is I love you
Bm A
For being somebody I’m not ashamed to introduce my skeletons to
D Bm
I still put on my Superman cape and hide in it
But when I’m with you it comes untied for a minute
D Em
Hits the ground in the shadow of your skin
Bm
For the first time I was comfortable in mine
[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]
D Bm
Then I knock-knock-knocked on your door
D
Every mask I ever wore
Em Bm
Shattered like glass on the floor
A
And it was like
[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon]
D
Halloween ended
Bm
To all the people I pretended to be
D Em Bm
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
D
Halloween ended
Bm
To all the people I pretended to be
D Em Bm
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]
D Em Bm
When I knock-knock-knocked on your door
D
Every mask I ever wore
Em Bm
Shattered like glass on the floor
D Bm
When I knock-knock-knocked on your door
(When I knocked on your door)
D
Every mask I ever wore
Em Bm
Shattered like glass on the floor
It was like
[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon & Walker Hayes]
D
Halloween ended
N.C.
To all the people I pretended to be
Bm
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
D
Halloween ended
Bm
To all the people I pretended to be
D Bm
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
[Outro: Nicolle Galyon & Walker Hayes]
D
Halloween ended
Bm
When I knock-knock-knocked on your door
To all the people I pretended to be
D
Halloween ended
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
Bm
When I knock-knock-knocked on your door
A D
Halloween ended
Bm
When I knock-knock-knocked on your door
To all the people I pretended to be
D
Halloween ended
Bm
When I knock-knock-knocked on your door
Rest in peace
