Capo 4th fret


[Verse 1]
    Am                                        Em
If I  scream at the top of my lungs, will you hear what I don't say
    Dm                                   F           G
If I  dance like I'm on a stage, will you see I seem out of place
     Am                                Em
If I put on a disguise, will you think everything's alright
     Dm                                   F              G
If I leave before the end, will you forget that I was there


[Pre-Chorus 1]
                 Am                            Em
When you saw me leaving, did you think I had a place to go
                     Dm                  F                
Since you stopped believing, I've had to put on my own show


[Chorus 1]
                  Am                       Em
I'll put on a performance, I'll put on a show
            Dm                  F   G    
It is a performance, I do it all so
                  Am                           Em
You won't see my hurting, when my heart it breaks
                  Dm                          F     G
I'll put on a performance, I'll put on a brave face


[Verse 2]
Am                                   Em
   Even when I was hiding, you could always find me
Dm                                        F                 G      
   Now you've stopped looking for me, but I'm still playing hide and seek
Am                     Em         
   I want you to notice, but you just don't see
Dm                           F                 G
   The show is wasted on you, so I perform for me


[Pre-Chorus 2]
                 Am                            Em
When you saw me leaving, did you think I had a place to go
                     Dm                  F               G
Since you stopped believing, I've had to put on my own show


[Chorus 2]
Am  Em  Dm  F  G
                  Am                       Em
I'll put on a performance, I'll put on a show
            Dm                  F   G    
It is a performance, I do it all so
                  Am                           Em
You won't see my hurting, when my heart it breaks
                  Dm                          F     G
I'll put on a performance, I'll put on a brave face


[Chorus]:
    Am                                                  Em
