Verse 1
[Bm]
All my life,
[G] [A]
I've been fighting a war
[Bm] [G] [A]
I can't talk to you or your friends
[Bm]
It's not only you,
[G] [A] [Bm]
My heart jumps around when I'm alluded to
[G] [A]
This will not do
[Bm] [G] [A]
Cause I was raised up to be admired,
[Bm]
to be noticed
[G] [A]
But when you're withdrawn,
[Bm]
it's the closest thing
[G] [A] [Bm]
to assault when all eyes are on you
[G] [A]
This will not do

Verse 2
[Bm]
I'm faking glory
[G] [A]
Lick my lips toss my hair
[Bm]
And turn the smile on
[G] [A]
And the story's brand new
[Bm]
But I can take it from here,
[G] [A] [Bm] [G] [A]
I'll find my own bravado
Chorus
[D]
It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back
[Em]
It's a moon eclipsed, oh
[Bm] [A]
And I can tell you that when the lights come on I'll be ready for this
[D]
It's in your bloodstream
[Em] [Bm]
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
[A]
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scaled without thinking of size
[D]
I was frightened of every little thing
[Em] [Bm]
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
[Em] [Bm]
with no one around to find me out
[A]
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go
