Remove Ads [VERSE]
Em I'm the strong one
Em I'm not nervous
D C Em I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
Em I move mountains
Em I move churches
D C 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
[CHORUS]
Em Under the surface
D C I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three ring circus
Em Under the surface
D C Was Hercules ever like “Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus”?
Em Under the surface
D C I'm prеtty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of sеrvice
B A flaw or a crack
B The straw in the stack
B That breaks the camel's back
What breaks the camel's back?
[CHORUS]
Em C D It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, whoa
Em G B Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til 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 C D Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa
Em G D Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til 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?
B If I falter
[VERSE]
Em Under the surface
Em D C I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us
Em Under the surface
D C The ship doesn't swerve as it heard 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
G But wait
Gmaj7 G7 If I could shake the crushing weight
C Cm Of expectations would that free some room up for joy?
G Gmaj7 G7 Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
C Cm Em Instead we measure this growing pressure
Em D Am Keeps growing, keep going
B 'Cause all we know is
[CHORUS]
Em C D Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, woah
Em G D Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just Go pop, woah oh oh
Em Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and
C See if she can handle every family burden
G B Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
B No mistakes, just
Em C D Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, woah
Em G D Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, woah oh oh
Em Give it to your sister and never wonder
C If the same pressure would've pulled you under
G B Who Am I if I don't have what it takes?
B No cracks, no breaks
B No mistakes
Em No pressure
