[Intro]

Em Em

[Verse 1]

Em

I'm the strong one

I'm not nervous

DC

I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is

Em

I move mountains

I move churches

DCB

And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is

[Verse 2]

Em

I don't ask how hard the work is

DC

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 1]

Em

Under the surface

Em

Under the surface

DC

I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus

Em

Under the surface

DC

Was Hercules ever like “Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?”

DC

I'm pretty surе I'm worthless if I can't be of servicе B

A flaw or a crack

B

The straw in the stack

B

That breaks the camel's back

B

What breaks the camel's back?

[Bridge]

Em CD

It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, whoa

Em GD

Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 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

GB

Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

If I fall to

Em CD

Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa

Em GD

Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till 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

GB

Who am I if I can't carry it all? If I falter

[Chorus 2]

Em

Under the surface

Wait, if I could shake the

C

Of expectations would that

Bm G7

crushing weight

Cm G

free some room up for joy?

DC

I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us

Em

Under the surface

DC

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, but

[Verse 3]

G 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

[Bridge]

Em CD

Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa

Em GD

Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 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

GB

Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks

N.C.

No mistakes, just

Em CD Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa

Em GD Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 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

GB

Who am I, if I don't have what it takes

Em

No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes, no pressure
