Verse:
Gmaj7
my mask of glue and plastic
C7       B
hides my fragile face
Gmaj7
it’s almost like a magic
C7      B
spell i put in place

Alternate Verse:
Em B      G     Cm

   G                 Am                   Cmaj7
to anyone that might suspect that i’m not real

Verse:
Gmaj7                  C7
i’m slowly building my relationships
     B
with people that i know
Gmaj7                             C7
it’s not what i expected but i’ve learned
   B
to go with the flow

alternate Verse:
Em B     G      Cm
i  must adapt because it’s the
G           Am              Cmaj7
only way to prove that i am real
          Cm      Cm 
but i’m not real

Chorus:
  G              B               Em       C
i never said you had to put your trust in me
  G              B
despite my fancy tie
          Em
my pretty lies
           C
our pretty see through-

     G             B
look closely at my smile
             Em
and you will find
        C
that my disease lies
G               Am                Cmaj7
right behind my teeth and down my throat
    Cm 
and i’m not gonna sugarcoat it.

Post-chorus:
G      B       Em  B  C   C
you’re dead to me
