[Verse 1]
N.C.                    D      F#m
Am I telling myself the truth?
    E                                   D        F#m E
I’m used to pretending to be strong and clueless
                         D    F#m
Am I doing this right by you?
  E                                  D        F#m E
I seem to be coming off as wrong and ruthless
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                        Bm               F#m
Am I telling myself the truth about what I don’t know?
   E
It makes me lose my self-control
    Bm                  F#m             E
I’m staring through the eyes of someone else
 
[Chorus]
   A            D              F#m Dsus2
So I’ll keep on smiling on the surface
A         D                 F#m E
Hiding my nerves behind the curtain
N.C. A               D
I’m caught up in an empty room
F#m                D
Filled with second thoughts and gloom
A            D              F#m E
I’ll keep on smiling on the surface

[Verse 2]

Am I changing my mind again?
         E                            D     F#m E
All this indecision makes me shift my focus
                       D       F#m
Is the tension my only friend?
  E                                  D        F#m E
Anxiety holds my hand when life gets hopeless
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                        Bm               F#m

I’m staring through the eyes of someone else
