Intro: Bm G D A

Verse 1:
  Bm
I show you what you need to see
G
 And nothing more
   D
At least I got the decency
A
 To shut the door
    Bm
You say that you want all of me
    G
But I know you're a liar
D
Every time I let you in
  A
I start to hear them tires

Pre-chorus:
       Bm
In the middle of the night in the back of my mind
       G
Like a chill running down my neck
      D
So, I bite my tongue
                    A
And I lie in self-defense

Chorus:
             Bm
Ask me how I been
             G
I'll say I'm great
             D
But under my skin
         A
I'm not ok
             Bm
Honey I been scared to death
               G
Looking in the mirror
             D
Just another day
                  A
In the kingdom of fear
(nc)          Bm
Ask me how it goes
             G
I'll say I'm fine
                D
But if you look close
                A
I ain't doing alright
             Bm
Honey I been scared to death
              G
Wipe away the tears
             D                     A
Just another day in the kingdom of fear
               Bm
The kingdom of fear

Interlude: Bm

Verse 2:
Bm
Maybe I been building walls
G
 Too high to climb
  D
I hope you know it's not your fault
A
 It's by design
  Bm
I know I been a lot of things
    G
But I won't be a burden
D
I won't be that person
     A
That calls you when I'm hurting
