(from "Dear Evan Hansen" soundtrack)

[Verse 1]
A                                                            D
Ever look at all the people, seem to know exactly how to be? 
 
(How to be, how to be now, how to be)
         A                                                           D
You think they don't need piles of prescriptions to function naturally? 
 
(Functioning natural)
A                                                         D
Take a look and you might just catch it, stay a minute more 
 
(Minute more, minute more now, minute more)
         A                                                              D
There's a little moment after the sunny smile that eyes fall to the floor 
 
(To the floor, to the floor now, to the floor)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        A                    D
And then truth starts peeking through (Peeking through)
         A                  D
They don't lie like me and you
        A                D
They can fake a smile too
 
 
[Chorus]
     F#m             A                              D                                  E
Thе anonymous ones never lеt you see the hate they carry (They carry, they carry, they carry)
     F#m                A                              D                                  E
All those anonymous ones never name the quiet pain they bury (They bury, they bury, they bury)
F#m                               E
Keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide
         D                                          E
What if everybody's secret is they have that secret side?
       F#m                     Em       A         D
And to know, to know we're not alone is all we're hoping for
C
I don't wanna be anonymous
Bm
I ain't gotta be anonymous
                           A          D
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore (Anymore)
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                                                             D
Spot the girl who stays in motion, spins so fast so she won't fall 
 
(World's spinning so fast, spinning so fast)
A                                                                        D
She's built a wall of her achievements to keep out the question, without it is she worth anything at all?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     A                   D
And truth starts peeking through
     A                   D
They don't lie like me and you
      A                D
They can fake a smile too
 
 
[Chorus]
     F#m           A                               D                                   E
The anonymous ones never let you see the hate they carry (They carry, they carry, they carry)
           F#m           A                              D                                E
All those anonymous ones never name the quiet pain they bury (They bury, they bury, they bury)
C
I don't wanna be anonymous
Bm
I ain't gotta be anonymous
                              A
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
 
 
[Bridge]
A
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well, but that doesn't mean they're not heavy
   F#m
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well, but that doesn't mean they're not heavy 
 
(I don't wanna be anonymous anymore)
    E                                                                              D
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well, but that doesn't mean they're not heavy, heavy
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m              A                              D                                  E
Anonymous ones never let you see the hate they carry (They carry, they carry, they carry)
         F#m            A                             D     E
All the anonymous ones never name the quiet pain they bury
F#m                               E
Keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide
         D                                          E
What if everybody's secret is they have that secret side?
       F#m                     Em       A                D
And to know, to know we're not alone is all we're hoping for
C
I don't wanna be anonymous
Bm
I ain't gotta be anonymous
                              A
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
              (from "Dear Evan Hansen" soundtrack)

Ever look at all the people
Who seem to know exactly how to be?
How to be, how to be, no
How to be
You think they don't need piles
Of prescriptions to function naturally?
Functioning natural

Take a look and you might just catch it
Stay a minute more
Minute more, minute more now
Minute more
There's a little moment after the sunny smile
Their eyes fall to the floor
To the floor, to the floor, now
To the floor

And then truth starts peeking through
They're a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too

The anonymous ones
Never let you see the ache they carry
They carry, they carry, they carry
All those anonymous ones
Never name the quiet pain they bury
They bury, they bury, they bear
Keep on keeping secrets
That they think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret is
They have that secret side?

And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
Anymore

Spot the girl who stays in motion
Spins so fast so she won't fall
World spinning so fast, too fast
She's built a wall of her achievements
To keep out the question
Without it, is she worth anything at all?

Then truth starts peaking through
They're a lot like me and you
They can fake a smile too

The anonymous ones
Never let you see the ache they carry
They carry, they carry, they carry
All those anonymous ones
No one named the quiet pain they bury
They bury, they bury, they bear

I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore

The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
But that doesn't mean they're not... heavy, heavy

The anonymous ones
Never let you see the ache they carry
They carry, they carry, they carry
All those anonymous ones
No one named the quiet pain they bury

Keep on keeping secrets
That they think they have to hide
What if everybody's secret is
They have that secret side?

And to know, to know we're not alone
Is all we're hoping for
I don't wanna be anonymous
I ain't gotta be anonymous
I don't wanna be anonymous anymore
