Am
Be scared, cause it only gets worse
F
Prepare for myself to get hurt
Am
Keep on trying to getaway
F
I know I cannot escape
Am
I don’t own the thoughts in my head,
F
So come here to speak my mind instead
Am
Waiting for the bell to chime
F
They all keep on changing my mind

Am F
Am F

[Verse 1]
Am
No one ever cares, it appears
F
Everybody stares
Insincere
Am
Dramatize those words
Now it’s true
F
Laugh it off, and hide that look on my face

Am
You won’t see my eyes
Hiding from behind
F
Careless and unkind
Masks
Am
You don’t understand
No one gives a damn
F
Dunno where I stand
Anymore

Am F E
Am F

[Chorus]
Am
Can’t meet those ideals
It is so
F
Tell me how to feel
I don’t know
Am
Twist and turn the words
It’s not true
F
Spinning ‘round, I’ve become a disgrace

Am
I have come to find
That you don’t seem to mind
F
My thoughts have realigned
Fast
Am
You don’t understand and
No one gives a damn
F
I don’t know where I stand
So many lies...

F

[Verse 2]
Am
A hyperbole
Designed to mislead
F
Not sure if the thoughts are mine or yours
Am
I had not a chance
To pick my own stance
F
But I mean your own is fine of course
Am
What if I could change
The view in your brain
F
To match those of others all around
Am
Cause a scene
I wanna scream
    F
Now lock me up
Throw away the key

G

[Chorus]
Am
Be scared, cause it only gets worse
F
Prepare for myself to get hurt
Am
Keep on trying to get away
F
I know I cannot escape
Am
I don’t own the thoughts in my head,
   F
So come here to speak my mind instead
Am
Waiting for the bell to chime
F
They all keep on changing my mind

[Bridge]
Am
Walk into the ball
Fake a smile
F
I can see them all
They’re all vile
Am
Gotta wear a mask
I can’t choose
F
Pick for me ‘cause I’m a jack of all trades

Am
I can’t seem to care
About which mask I wear
F
You share it cause you care…
Right?!
Am
Fake it till you make it
Build it up and break it
F
All the things you say
They make me cry…

[Chorus]
Am
I can’t make a choice
I can’t find my voice
F
I just wanna see what’s right for me
Am
My head swirls around
I feel tied and bound
F                 E
Just one word can alter what I see
Am
I’ve nothing to hide
Nothing to conceal
F
Whatever I fake is what I feel
Am
I can’t go back
Imagine that
F
Behind this mask
Nothing’s even there
