[intro] Em I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous D C I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is Em I move mountains I move churches D C B 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 B7 I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but [verse 1] Em Under the surface D I feel berserk as a tightrope walker C in a three-ring circus Em Under the surface D Was Hercules ever like C “Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?” Em Under the surface D I'm pretty surе I'm worthless C if I can't be of servicе B a flaw or a crack B The straw in the stack B7 That breaks the camel's back B7 What breaks the camel's back? [chorus 1] Em It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, C D that'll never stop, whoa Em Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip G D till 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? B7 If I fall to Em Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, C D and it won't let go, whoa Em Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till G D 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? B7 If I falter [verse 2] Em Under the surface D I hide my nerves and it worsens, C I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us Em Under the surface D The ship doesn't swerve C 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 B7 You try to stop it tumbling B7 But on and on it goes, but [bridge] G Bm G7 Wait, if I could shake the crushing weight C Of expectations would Cm G that free some room up for joy? Bm G7 Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure? C Cm Em Instead we measure this growing pressure D Am Keeps growing, keep going B7 'Cause all we know is [chorus 2] Em Pressure like a drip, drip, C D drip that'll never stop, whoa Em Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip G D till you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh 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 No mistakes, just Em Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, C D and it won't let go, whoa Em Pressure like a tick, tick, tick G D till it's ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh 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 B7 Em No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes, no pressure
