Gmaj7
my mask of glue and plastic
C7       B
hides my fragile face
Gmaj7
it’s almost like a magic
C7      B
spell i put in place


[alternate verse]
Em B      G     Cm
as not to cause alarm
   G                 Am                   Cmaj7*
to anyone that might suspect that i’m not real


[verse]
Gmaj7                  C7
i’m slowly building my relationships
     B
with people that i know
Gmaj7                             C7
it’s not what i expected but i’ve learned
   B
to go with the flow


[alternate verse]
Em B     G      Cm
i  must adapt because it’s the
G           Am              Cmaj7*
only way to prove that i am real
          Cm      Cm**
but i’m not real



[chorus]
  G              B               Em       C
i never said you had to put your trust in me
  G              B
despite my fancy tie
          Em
my pretty lies
           C
our pretty see through-


     G             B
look closely at my smile
             Em
and you will find
        C
that my disease lies
G               Am                Cmaj7*
right behind my teeth and down my throat
    Cm**
and i’m not gonna sugarcoat it.



[post-chorus]
G      B       Em  B  C*  C*
you’re dead to me

[verse]
Gmaj7                       C7                 B
the world is full of horrid people from end to end
Gmaj7                      C7       B          Em
and those of us considered good are only pretend-


[alternate verse]
     B      G     Cm             G
-ing to fit in to what they were told
Am        Cmaj7*
counts as real



[chorus]
  G              B               Em       C
i never said you had to put your trust in me
  G              B
despite my fancy tie
          Em
my pretty lies

our pretty see through-

[bridge]
G                Am
i like it better anyway
                     Em
i don’t know what to say to you
       Cm*   Cm**
it was fake



[chorus]
  G**            B**               Em**   C**
i never said you had to put your trust in me

and i’m not gonna sugarcoat you...
