Em
[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
B
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 in a
C
three-ring circus
Em
Under the surface
D C
Was Hercules ever like “Yo, I don't wanna
fight Cerberus?”
Em
Under the surface
D
I'm pretty surе I'm worthless if I can't be
C
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?
[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 till you just
G D
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?
If I fall to
Em
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it
C D
won't let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's
G D
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?
If I falter
[Verse 2]
Em
Under the surface
D
I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry
C
somethin' is gonna hurt us
Em
Under the surface
D C
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
[Bridge]
G Bm Bdim
Wait, if I could shake the crushing weight
C Cm6
Of expectations would that free some room up
G
for joy?
Bm Bdim
Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
C Cm6 Em
Instead we measure this growing pressure
Bm Am
Keeps growing, keep going
B7
'Cause all we know is
[Chorus 2]
Em
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll
C D
never stop, whoa
Em
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till you just
G D
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
Watch as she buckles and bends but never
B
breaks
N.C.
No mistakes, just
Em
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it
C D
won't let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's
G D
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
No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes, no
Em
pressure
