|G         |G               |D                  |D   |
 .. Tell me now, if you came sneakin' up behind  ....
|Em          |Em         |C             |C         |
 .. Would you know me and see behind the smile? ...
|G       |G          |D          |D       |
 .. I can change like colors on a wall ...
|Em           |Em                 |C                  |
 Hopin' no one else will find what lies beneath it all
|C    |C               |C           |
 ... I think I hide it, oh, so well

[Chorus]
|G            |G                    |C       |
 Steppin' out, . everyone can see my face ...

|G            |G                       |C        |
 Standin' out, . so you won't forget my name ...
|C                            |G      |D              |C        |C   |
 . That's the way we play this game of life, everybody knows ... ....

[Verse]
|G                  |G          |D                 |D
 Lookin' through the crowd ... I search for someone else ...
    |Em          |Em            |C         |C       |
 But every time I turn around, I run into myself ...
|G        |G           |D             |D
 .. Here I stand ... consumed by my surroundings
      |Em           |Em     |C        |C
 Just another day .. .... of everybody lookin'
|C                 |C           |Am          |D      |
 Swore they'd never see me cry . never see me cry ...

[Chorus]

 . All the things I can't erase in my life, everybody knows ... ....
|G            |G                       |C        |
 Standin' out, . so you won't forget my name ...
|C                            |G      |D              |C        |C   |

 . You say I'll pay the price .. ... that's a chance that I'll take .
|F         |C               |Am              |Am  |
 ... Though you may think I---'m tellin' lies ....
