C5

[Verse 1]
C5
Ever look at all the people who seem to know exactly how to be?
C5
You think, "They don't need piles of prescriptions to function naturally"
C                                                            F
Well, look again, and you might catch it, just stay a minute more
             C                                            F
There's this little moment after the sunny smile as their eyes fall to the floor
        G                    F
And the truth starts peeking through
          G               F
They're a lot like me and you
         G             F
They can fake a smile, too


[Chorus]
    Am                  C                               F
The anonymous ones, who never let you see the ache they carry
    Am                  C                               F
All of those anonymous ones, who never name that quiet pain they bury
G       Am                                G                  C
So they keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide
            F
But what if everybody's secret is they have that secret side?
       C                        G
And to know they're somehow not alone
                         F
Well, that's all they're hoping for
        A                   N.C.
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
                                  G
To keep out the question "without it, is she worth anything at all?"
   Dmaj7      G         Am                    G
So nobody can know just what the cracks might show
    Am                 Gmaj7     G
How deep and dark they go


[Chorus]
                Bm              D                                G
There are those anonymous ones, stuck inside the perfect frame they're faking
           Bm                 D                                G
All of us anonymous ones, who pick themselves apart til they start breaking
       Bm7                             A
And we keep on keeping secrets that we think we have to hide
            G
But what we really need is somebody to see that secret side
       D                      Am                        G
And to know we're somehow not alone is all we're hoping for
         F                   C               Bm7
And that we wouldn't have to be anonymous anymore

Bm7 Am A


[Bridge]
    D
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well, but that doesn't mean they're not heavy
    Bm7
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well, but that doesn't mean they're not heavy
    D
The anonymous one, noticed by none
    G
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well but that doesn't mean they're not heavy
G   Bm                      D                   G
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well but that doesn't mean they're not heavy
    Bm                      D                   G                         Gm
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well but that doesn't mean they're not heavy


[Chorus]
    Bm                  D                            G
The anonymous ones, who might just need this moment to remind them
     A               Bm7
That there are more anonymous ones
        D                Fm            G
They're out there if you take the time to find them
        D                      Am
Just to know we're somehow not alone
      Bm   C                            G
Isn't that all we're ever really looking for?
      F                    C
Maybe we, we don't have to be anonymous anymore
