Dear Evan Hansen - The Anonymous Ones

D                                 
Ever look at all the people who 
                          G
seem to know exactly how to be?
            D                      
You think, "They don't need piles 
of prescriptions to function 
      G
naturally"
     D
Well, look again, and you might 
catch it
                   G
Just stay a minute more
             D
There's this little moment after the
 sunny smile
         G
As their eyes fall to the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
       D                     G
And the truth starts peeking through
          D               G
They're a lot like me and you
         D            G
They can fake a smile, too

[Chorus]
     Bm
The anonymous ones
D                              G
Never let you see the ache they 
carry
             Bm
All of those anonymous ones
    D                              
Who never name that quiet pain they 
G
bury
        Bm                         
So they keep on keeping secrets 
       D
that they think they have to hide
            G
But what if everybody's secret is 
they have that secret side?
       D                       
And to know they're somehow not 
   Em
alone
                                G
Well, that's all they're hoping for
        F                   Em
What if they didn't have to stay

Anonymous anymore?

[Verse 2]
D
Spot the girl who stays in motion
                               G
She spins so fast so she won't fall
D
She's built a wall with her 
achievements

To keep out the question
         G
"Without it, is she worth anything 
at all?"
   D          G
So nobody can know
     D                     G
Just what the cracks might show
    D                  G
How deep and dark they go

[Chorus]
                Bm
There are those anonymous ones
D                            
Stuck inside the perfect frame 
          G
they're faking
          Bm
All of us anonymous ones
    D                              
Who pick themselves apart 'til they
     G
 start breaking
       Bm                          
And we keep on keeping secrets that
    D*
 we think we have to hide
            G
But what we really need is somebody 
to see that secret side
       D                      Em  
And to know we're somehow not 
                       G
alone is all we're hoping for
         F                  Em
And that we wouldn't have to be

Anonymous anymore

[Bridge]
D
The parts we can't tell, we carry 
them well
Bm
But that doesn't mean they're not 
heavy
D
The parts we can't tell, we carry 
them well
Bm
But that doesn't mean they're not 
heavy
G                  Em
The anonymous one, noticed by none
D
The parts we can't tell, we carry 
them well
Bm
But that doesn't mean they're not 
heavy
Em
The parts we can't tell
Bm
We carry them well
G
But that doesn't mean they're not 
heavy
Em
The parts we can't tell
D
We carry them well
G
But that doesn't mean they're not 
heavy

[Chorus]
Bm*
The anonymous ones
D*                           
Might just need this moment to 
         G*
remind them
Bm*
That there are more anonymous ones
D*                                
They're out there if you take the 
        G*
time to find them
Bm*                             Em*
Just to know we're somehow not alone
G*
Isn't that all we're ever really 
looking for?
F*                        Em*
Maybe we, we don't have to be
