Tom: F#m
E D F#m E
I’m used to pretending to be strong and clueless
D F#m
Am I doing this right by you?
E D F#m E
I seem to be coming off as wrong and ruthless
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
Am I telling myself the truth about what I don’t know?
E
It makes me lose my self-control
Bm F#m E
I’m staring through the eyes of someone else
[Chorus]
A D F#m Dsus2
So I’ll keep on smiling on the surface
A D F#m E
Hiding my nerves behind the curtain
N.C. A D
I’m caught up in an empty room
F#m D
Filled with second thoughts and gloom
A D F#m E
I’ll keep on smiling on the surface
[Break 1]
D F#m E
[Verse 2]
D F#m
Am I changing my mind again?
E D F#m E
All this indecision makes me shift my focus
D F#m
Is the tension my only friend?
E D F#m E
Anxiety holds my hand when life gets hopeless
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
Am I telling myself the truth about what I don’t know?
E
It makes me lose my self-control
Bm F#m E
I’m staring through the eyes of someone else
[Chorus]
A D F#m Dsus2
So I’ll keep on smiling on the surface
A D F#m E
Hiding my nerves behind the curtain
N.C. A D
I’m caught up in an empty room
F#m D
Filled with second thoughts and gloom
A D F#m E
I’ll keep on smiling on the surface
[Break 2]
D E D Bm F#m D E D
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m Bm F#m
Am I telling myself the truth about my self-esteem
E
And how others place their worth in me?
Bm F#m E
I’m staring through the eyes of someone else
[Chorus]
A D F#m Dsus2
So I’ll keep on smiling on the surface
A D F#m E
Hiding my nerves behind the curtain
N.C. A D
I’m caught up in an empty room
F#m D
Filled with second thoughts and gloom
A D F#m E
Yeah I’ll keep smiling on the surface
[Outro]
D E D Bm F#m D E D Bm F#m
Am I telling myself the truth?
