I'm Not Ok

[Intro ]
G         C         G         D         


[Verso 1]
 
G 
I keep telling myself I'm okay 
C 
Lying here staring at the ceiling 
G 
Drowning in this empty feeling 
D 
Everybody says you'll heal 
G 
But they don't know what's really real 
C 
Walking down these quiet streets 
G 
Haunted by the memories 
D 
Smiling when I'm with my friends 
G 
But the ache just never ends 
C 
I play the part they wanna see 
G 
Hide the cracks inside of me 
D 
Every "I'm fine" is just a lie 
G 
I've been saying one too many times 
 


[Refrão]
 
C 
I keep telling myself that I'm okay 
G 
Even when my mind won't go my way 
D 
I say I'm fine, I say I'm strong 
Em 
But I've been lying all along 
C 
I 
keep telling myself I'm doing fine 
G 
While I'm slowly dying inside 
D 
I keep telling myself that I'm okay 
Em 
Just trying to make it through the day 
 


[Verso 2]
 
G 
Some days I just feel so lost 
C 
Like I'm paying every cost 
G 
For every word I should have said 
D 
Every chance I let go dead 
G 
Trying hard to be that man 
C 
With steady heart and steady hands 
G 
Looking in the mirror's glass 
D 
Searching for who I once was 
G 
I wear this mask so they won't see 
C 
How far down this goes in me 
G 
Every laugh and every smile 
D 
Is just me coping for a while 
 


[Refrão]
 
C 
I keep telling myself that I'm okay 
G 
Even when my mind won't go my way 
D 
I say I'm fine, I say I'm strong 
Em 
But I've been lying all along 
C 
I 
keep telling myself I'm doing fine 
G 
While I'm slowly dying inside 
D 
I keep telling myself that I'm okay 
Em 
Just trying to make it through the day 
 


[Ponte]
 
G 
Maybe one day I'll be free 
C 
From the ghosts inside of me 
G 
Maybe I will find my way 
D 
Not tomorrow, not today 
G 
Maybe I'll forgive my past 
C 
Let these shadows fade at last 
G 
Maybe there's a brighter sky 
D 
On the other side of all these nights 
G 
I'm not okay, but that's alright 
C 
I'm still here, I'm still alive 
G 
One more breath and one more try 
D 
Learning how to not just lie 

{Final Chorus} 
C 
I keep telling myself that I'm okay 
G 
Even when my mind won't go my way 
D 
I say I'm fine, I say I'm strong 
Em 
But I've been lying all along 
C 
I keep telling myself I'm doing fine 
G 
While I'm slowly dying inside 
D 
I keep telling myself that I'm okay 
Em 
Just trying to make it through the day 
G 
I keep telling myself 
C 
How far my way 
G 
Just trying to make it through 
D 
today
