verse 1 
D                               G 
Be yourself, they say, but be assertive 
C                                G 
Hold your ground but do not be unkind 
G                                 Em 
I have sought to be both lamb and lion 
C                G               D 
Heartache is the thing I tend to find 
Am         D               G 
Can I only have what I can capture 
Em          B              C 
Will I be unheard unless I shout 
Am         B               Em 
Clamor overwhelms me and I wonder 
Am               C           D 
What is there to be so loud about?

G            C                 G 
Many are the musings of my shy heart 
       C                G           Am      C 
Though precious few are spoken out aloud 
D             C               G              C 
How I wish to wrap them up in confidence and style 
    C                  A                 D 
And send them out like magic through the crowd 
     Em             C                        D 
Then everyone would listen and I wouldn't be afraid 
  Em                          A 
I wouldn't shrink away and disappear 
  C                  D             G                 C 
I don't want them to worship me or care that much at all 
  Am           C                  D 
I only want to know they know I'm here 

verse 2 
D                              G 
I can wear a mask of pluck and power 
C                          G 
But it never says what I intend 
G                 D              Em 
Words become like scissors in my keeping 
    C                  G            D 
And friendships are so difficult to mend 
Am              D               G 
I don't want to shout above the babble 
Em           B                 C 
I'm not even sure what I would say 
Am           B                   Em 
Maybe just, "Excuse me, could we maybe 
Am          C         D 
Be a little quieter today?"

verse 3 
D                                   G 
Part of me has things she wants and wishes 
C                            G 
Part of me is worried she is wrong 
G             D          Em 
Part of me is busy masquerading 
     C          G          D 
As a girl whose pieces get along 
Am              D              G 
I don't mean to come across as distant 
Em               B             C 
I don't think it adds to my mystique 
Am             B            Em         G 
I just find it difficult conversing 
Am                 C            D 
And think an awful lot before I speak
