Am If I scream at the top of my lungs G Will you hear what I don't say? Dm If I dance like I'm on a stage F G Will you see I seem out of place? If I put on a disguise Will you think everything's alright? If I leave before the end Will you forget that I was there? Am When you saw me leaving Em Did you think I had a place to go? Dm Since you stopped believing F I've had to put on my own show Chorus: Am I'll put on a performance Em I'll put on a show Dm It is a performance F G I do it all so Am You won't see me hurting Em When my heart it breaks Dm I'll put on a performance F G I'll put on a brave face Even when I was hiding You could always find me Now you've stopped looking for me But I'm still playing hide and seek I want you to notice But you just don't see The show is wasted on you So I perform for me When you saw me leaving Did you think I had a place to go?
