[Verse 1]
(D) (G)
Be yourself, they say, but be assertive
(C) (G)
Hold your ground but do not be unkind
(G) Em
I have sought to be both lamb and lion
(C) (G) (D)
Heartache is the thing I tend to find
Am (D) (G)
(C)an I only have what I can capture

Will I be unheard unless I shout
Am B Em
(C)lamor overwhelms me and I wonder
Am (C) (D)
What is there to be so loud about?

[(C)horus]
(G) (C) (G)
Many are the musings of my shy heart
(C) (G) Am (C)
Though precious few are spoken out aloud
(D) (C) (G) (C)
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style
(C) A (D)
And send them out like magic through the crowd
Em (C) (D)
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn’t be afraid
Em A
I wouldn’t shrink away and disappear

I don’t want them to worship me or care that much at all
Am (C) (D)
I only want to know they know I’m here

(D) (G)
I can wear a mask of pluck and power
(C) (G)
But it never says what I intend
(G) (D) Em
Words become like scissors in my keeping
(C) (G) (D)
And friendships are so difficult to mend
Am (D) (G)
I don’t want to shout above the babble
Em B (C)
I’m not even sure what I would say
Am B Em
Maybe just, “Excuse me, could we maybe
Am (C) (D)
Be a little quieter today?”

[Verse 3]
(D) (G)
Part of me has things she wants and wishes
(C) (G)
Part of me is worried she is wrong
(G) (D) Em
Part of me is busy masquerading
(C) (G) (D)
As a girl whose pieces get along
Am (D) (G)
I don’t mean to come across as distant
Em B (C)
I don’t think it adds to my mystique
Am B Em (G)
I just find it difficult conversing
Am (C) (D)
And think an awful lot before I speak
