[Intro]
Am G C F
(Ayo, Perish, this is hot, boy)
[Verse 1]
Am G
I wear a mask with a smile for hours at a time
C F
Stare at the ceiling while I hold back what's on my mind
Am 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
Am
I say, "I'm just fine"
Am
But the fact is
G C F
I can never get off of my mattress
Am G
And all that they can ask is
C F
"Why are you so sad, kid?" (Why are you so sad, kid?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
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 tryin'
G
You won't see me cryin'
C F
I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
Am
And it just keeps on pilin'
G
It's so terrifying
C F
But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
Am G
I've been carin' too much for so long
C F
Been comparin' myself for so long
Am G C
Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real
F
So long, it's rеal, so long, it's real
[Verse 2]
Am G C
Always bein' judged by a bunch of strangе faces
F Am
Scared to Go outside, haven't seen the light in ages
G
But I've been places
C F
So I'm okay-ish, so I'm okay-ish
F
Yeah, I'm okay, bitch
Am
But the fact is
G C F
I need help, I'm failin' all my classes
Am
They think that I need glasses
G C F
I just really wish that I could pass this (Wish that I could pass this)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
That's what the mask is
F
That's what the point of the mask is
[Chorus]
Am
So you can see I'm tryin'
G
You won't see me cryin'
C F
I'll just keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
Am
And it just keeps on pilin'
G
It's so terrifying
C F
But I keep on smilin', I'm good (Yeah, I'm good)
Am G
I've been carin' too much for so long
C F
Been comparin' myself for so long
Am G C
Been wearin' a smile for so long, it's real
F Am
So long, it's rеal, so long, it's real
[Outro]
Am C G
So long, it's real
Am C G
So long, it's real
