What if I change the things I say
D
so it sounds better in your ears
C
I can tell you exactly
D
what you want to hear
Em
What if i change the way i dress
D
So it looks better from your view
C
I can pout my lips to fame
B Am / D
and be pretty instead of true
Em / D / C / B
I’ve been trying to stay real
and true and proud of who I am
All those ideals of how to look
I’ve been trying not to care
Em / D / C / B
But I’m still holding my breath
I’m still watching every step
I’m still tip-toeing away
when I’m getting to ashamed of myself
Am / D

Em
I don’t want to be your let down

I’m screaming loud without a sound
G
Have to find a way to

be the best of me
B Em
Failure scares the hell out of me
Em / D / C / B
And the music that they’re liking
says nothing about the way
That I am disappearing
so I’ll keep it to myself

Though I’m mostly quiet
