[Intro] 
Em
I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
D                    C
 I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
Em
I move mountains
 
I move churches
D                    C                     B
 And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
 
Em
I don't ask how hard the work is
D                  C
 Got a rough, indestructible surface
B
Diamonds and platinum, 

I find 'em, I flatten 'em
  B
I take what I'm handed, 

I break what's demanded, but
 
 
[Primeira Parte] 
Em
Under the surface
                    D               
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker 
       C
In a three-ring circus
Em
Under the surface
             D         
Was hercules ever like
             C
“yo, I don't wanna fight cerberus?”

Em
Under the surface
                    D        
I'm pretty sure I'm worthless
                 C
If I can't be of service
B
A flaw or a crack
B
The straw in the stack
B
That breaks the camel's back
B
What breaks the camel's back?
 
 
[Refrão 1] 
     Em                               
It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip,
              C          D
That'll never stop, whoa
Em                            
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip
                 G         D
Till you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh

Em
Give it to your sister, 

Your sister's older
C
Give her all the heavy things 

We can't shoulder
G                                B
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
 
If I fall to
Em                               
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip,
                 C        D
And it won't let go, whoa
Em                              
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
                   G          D
Till it's ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh

Em
Give it to your sister, 

Your sister's stronger
C
See if she can hang on a little longer
G                            B
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
 
If I falter
 
 
[Segunda Parte] 
Em
Under the surface
                        D       
I hide my nerves and it worsens,
        C
I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us
Em
Under the surface
                 D                 
The ship doesn't swerve as it heard
    C
How big the iceberg is
Em
Under the surface
                 D
I think about my purpose
              C
Can I somehow preserve this?
B
Line up the dominoes
B
A light wind blows
B
You try to stop it tumbling
B
But on and on it goes, but
 
 
[Ponte] 
G                Bm    
Wait, if I could shake 
             G7
The crushing weight
        C                  Cm   
Of expectations would that free 
                G
Some room up for joy?
        Bm               G7
Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
           C    Cm 
Instead we measure 
     Em
This growing pressure
      D             Am
Keeps growing, keep going
       B7
'cause all we know is
 
 
[Refrão 2] 

  Em                               
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip,
              C          D
That'll never stop, whoa
Em                            
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip
                 G         D
Till you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh

Em
Give it to your sister, 

It doesn't hurt and
C
See if she can handle

Every family burden
G                              
Watch as she buckles and bends
          B
But never breaks
N.C.
No mistakes, just

Em                               
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip,
                 C        D
And it won't let go, whoa
Em                              
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
                   G          D
Till it's ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister

And never wonder
C
If the same pressure

Would've pulled you under
G         
Who am I, 
                        B
If I don't have what it takes
                      
No cracks, no breaks,
                 Em
No mistakes, no pressure
