Bm
All my life,
GA
I've been fighting a war
BmGA
I can't talk to you or your friends
Bm
It's not only you,
GABm
My heart jumps around when I'm alluded to
GA
This will not do
BmGA
'Cause I was raised up to be admired,
Bm
to be noticed
GA
But when you're withdrawn,
Bm
it's the closest thing
GABm
To assoult when all eyes are on you
GA
This will not do
( BmBmGA )
( BmBmGA )
( BmBmGA )
( BmBmGA )
Bm
I'm faking glory,
GA
Lick my lips toss my hair
Bm
And turn the smile on
GA
And the story's brand-new
Bm
But I can take it from here,
GABmGA
I'll find my own bravado
Chorus 2X:
D
It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back
Em
It's a moon eclipsed, oh
BmA
And I can tell you that when the lights come on I'll be ready for this
D
It's in your bloodstream
Em
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
BmA
It's a marathon run or a mounatin you scaled without thinking of size
D
I was frightened of every little thing
EmBm
that I thought was out to get me down
A
To trip me up and laugh at me,
D
But I learned not to want the quiet of the room
EmBm
with no one around to find me out
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh
