Nobody Knows

Intro: Am  G  Em  F 

 
       Am 
I feel paralyzed 
       G                Em 
But my brain is running rampant 
          F 
All these thoughts of mine I try to keep em to myself 
             Am 
So that they stay in line 
          G           Em 
And maybe that' s not realisitic 
   F 
Im afraid to lose my mind but would I miss it 
     Am 
So I say I'm fine 
           G      Em 
But that's loaded ammunition 
        F 
I don't need advice. No, I just need someone to listen 
   Dm                                          C 
Or someone to hold the thoughts that I've been carrying 
         G 
Or maybe help me dig a hole, so I can bury 'em 
 

 
       F 
Nobody knows 
       C                       Am       G 
That I smile while inside I'm breaking 
       F 
Nobody knows 
       C                             Am      G 
When I say that I'm strong, that I'm faking 
       F                              C 
Nobody knows all the tears that I've cried on my own 
           Am                     Em    F 
Trying to climb my way out of the lows 
                 C               G 
But I just hold on, 'cause what tomorrow holds 
       Am    G 
Nobody knows 
Em     F 
Nobody knows 
 

 
                      Am 
Well, I'm not holding my breath 
        G                Em 
But I'm breathing in and out 
           F 
As deep as I can. No, I don't mean to be a burden, 
         Am 
I'm just talking in these circles 
         G                 Em 
It's the only thing that's working 
           F 
Hope these walls will save their judgments 
                             Dm   C 
For somebody who deserves 'em 
                   G 
Because I don't deserve 'em 
 

 
       F 
Nobody knows 
       C                       Am       G 
That I smile while inside I'm breaking 
       F 
Nobody knows 
       C                             Am      G 
When I say that I'm strong, that I'm faking 
       F                              C 
Nobody knows all the tears that I've cried on my own 
           Am                     Em    F 
Trying to climb my way out of the lows 
                 C               G 
But I just hold on, 'cause what tomorrow holds 
       Am    G 
Nobody knows 
Em     F 
Nobody knows 
 

 
               Am 
'Cause no one knows how close I was 
           G               Em 
When I had one foot on the edge 
         F 
I almost gave up on myself, hell, I was hanging by a thread 
           Am 
It doesn't mean I'm in the clear 
          G            Em 
Or that I made it out unscathed 
         F                                           Am 
What I'm really trying to say is, "stay for one more day" 
              G 
Then one more day 
     Em       F 
Then one more day 
 

 
       F 
Nobody knows 
       C                       Am       G 
That I smile while inside I'm breaking 
       F 
Nobody knows 
       C                             Am      G 
When I say that I'm strong, that I'm faking 
       F                              C 
Nobody knows all the tears that I've cried on my own 
           Am                     Em    F 
Trying to climb my way out of the lows 
                 C               G 
But I just hold on, 'cause what tomorrow holds 
       F    C 
Nobody knows 
       Am    Em 
Nobody knows

       C
