Intro: G Gmaj7 A2/E  (2x)

Verse: 

G G7 A2/E 
Foolish heart, looks like we're here again 
G G7 A2/E 
Same old game of a plastic smile don't let anybody in 
Am A2 Am/F# 
Hiding my heart ache, will this glasshouse break 
G G7 A2/E 
How much will they take before I'm empty 
Am A2 Am/F# 
Do I let it show, does anybody know 

 
G D 
But you see the real me 
Em C 
hiding in my skin, broken from within

unveil me, completely

I'm loosening my grasp, there's no need to mask my frailty 
Dsus D G 
Cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask 
G G7 A2/E 
Self inflicted circus clown, I'm tired of the song and dance 
Am A2 Am/F# 
Living a charade, always on parade 
G G7 A2/E 
What a mess I've made of my existence 
Am A2 Am/F# 
But you love me even now 
A2 Am/F# 
And still I see somehow

I just wanna be me
