Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
C        G
 Pictures on the wall
Em              D
 Swear they're all getting grayer
C          G
 Don't feel a thing at all
Em            D
 But no one's even aware cuz
C               G
 I just try to smile
                 Em
 Through all the pain
           D
 "How you been?"
                C
 "Oh I'm doing great"
               G
 But please don't
             Em
 Ask me to promise
                 D
 Cuz If I were honest
 
 
[Chorus]
C              G
 A lie it's a lie
             Em
 I may look happy
 
 But I swear that I'm
  D
 Dying on the inside
C            G
 Survive survive
                   Em                      D
 I don't know the last time I felt truly alive
          C
 I spend way too much time
        G
 Laying in my bed
    Em                           D
 Cuz I don't wanna deal with my life
 
 Ohhh
    C          G
 A lie it's a lie
Em                     D
 I just wanna feel alright
 
 
[Verse 2]
C        G
 Sleep in
 
 'Till afternoon
Em            D
 But I still wake up tired
C          G
 Don't know
 
 What else to do
Em            D
 I feel so uninspired and
C               G
 Finding motivation never works
Em      D
 Every day feels a little worse
C         G
 So I just pretend I'm okay
Em           D
 When all I want to say is
 
 
[Chorus]
C              G
 A lie it's a lie
             Em
 I may look happy
 
 But I swear that I'm
  D
 Dying on the inside
C            G
 Survive survive
                   Em                      D
 I don't know the last time I felt truly alive
          C
 I spend way too much time
        G
 Laying in my bed
    Em                           D
 Cuz I don't wanna deal with my life
 
 Ohhh
    C          G
 A lie it's a lie
Em                     D
 I just wanna feel alright
 
 
[Outro]
C
              Pictures on the wall

Through all the pain

"Oh I'm doing great"
But please don't
Ask me to promise

Laying in my bed
Cuz I don't wanna deal with my life
Ohhh
A lie it's a lie
I just wanna feel alright
