If you started showing what’s under your skin
       G           Em7
What if you let ’em all in on the lie?

Even the homecoming queen cries

Cadd9         G             Em7

If you lost your composure, said to hell with it all
Cadd9         G          Em7
   Not everything pretty sparkles and shines

And even the homecoming queen cries
