The Mask

D G D G


[Verse 1]
     D
Hey, I got pains inside of me
G
Pains I don’t let people see
       D                           
I say I’m fine cause I know they 
      G
see me strong
   D
Behind my eyes inside my soul

       G
Feels like I’m digging a deeper hole
     D
But I put on a smile
                 G
I lie and I hold on


[Chorus]
     D
But when I get home and its late at 
night
    Em
No ones around and I turn off the 
light
   D                               
I cry and scream and yell like 
  G
crazy man
D
I don’t have to pretend that I’m 
doing well

      Em
I can tell the world it can go to 
hell
Continues after the ad
        D                 G       
It’s just me and God when I take 
        D   G
off the mask


[Verse 2]
      D
They say you got so much going on
    G
But in this crowd, I’m still alone
     D                             
But they don’t know cause I hold my
          G
 head up high
         D
There’s times I can’t get out of bed

           G
I’m goin’ round and round inside my 
head
D                               
That’s when I slip it on so I can 
   G
hide


[Chorus]
     D
And when I get home and its late at 
night
    Em
No ones around and I turn off the 
light
   D                               
I cry and scream and yell like 
   G
crazy man
         D
I don’t have to pretend that I’m 
doing well

      Em
I can tell the world it can go to 
hell
         D                         
It’s just me and God when I take 
       G
off the mask


[Bridge]
G
I won’t give up, (I won’t give up)
             Em
I won’t give in, (I won’t give in)
                 G
I won’t take it off
                A
Still I’m with Him


[Chorus]

     D
And when I get home and its late at 
night
   Em
No ones around and I turn off the 
light
   D                               
I cry and scream and yell like 
  G
crazy man
         D
I don’t have to pretend that I’m 
doing well
      Em
I can tell the world it can go to 
hell
          D               G       
It’s just me and God when I take 
        D   G D G D
off the mask
