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
(Secure the bag, know what I mean? Banrisk on the beat)
(Ayo, Perish, this is hot, boy)
I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind
And when they ask me how I'm doing
I say, "I'm just fine"
And when they ask me how I'm doing
I say, "I'm just fine"
But the fact is
I can never get off of my mattress
And all that they can ask is
"Why are you so sad, kid?" (Why are you so sad, kid?)
That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is
So you can see I'm tryin'
You won't see me cryin'
I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
And it just keeps on pilin'
It's so terrifying
But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
I've been carin' too much for so long
Been comparin' myself for so long
Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real
So long, it's real, so long, it's real
Always bein' judged by a bunch of strange faces
Scared to go outside, haven't seen the light in ages
But I've been places
So I'm okay-ish, so I'm okay-ish
Yeah, I'm okay, bitch
But the fact is
I need help, I'm failin' all my classes
They think that I need glasses
I just really wish that I could pass this (Wish that I could pass this)
That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is
So you can see I'm tryin'
You won't see me cryin'
I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
And it just keeps on pilin'
It's so terrifying
But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
I've been carin' too much for so long
Been comparin' myself for so long
Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real
So long, it's real, so long, it's real
So long, it's real
So long, it's real
