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But when you're withdrawn,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 assoult when all eyes are on you
              G    A
This will not do

( Bm  Bm  G  A )
( Bm  Bm  G  A )
( Bm  Bm  G  A )
( Bm  Bm  G  A )

           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 2X:

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
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
Bm                                                      A
It's a marathon run or a mounatin 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

I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh
