Intro: 
Cm Bb Ab G 

 
      Cm 
Hello there, nice to meet me 
        Bb 
Did you think it would be easy? 
      Am 
Using me to make you pretty 
             G 
Well, that's how it tends to start 
         Cm 
Post to me, all your broken 
         Bb 
All your lovin' and your hopin' 
       Ab 
So you left the bottle open 
         G                               Eb 
Now this genie's gonna play with your heart 
 

 
                                    Bb 
Come on baby, meet your brand new fam 
                           Cm 
TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram 
                       Ab      Eb 
Swim on out a little bit deeper 
                           Bb 
Draw the curtain, come inside 
                             Cm 
Meet the wizard, join the ride 
                      Ab         Cm  Bb 
Life is better with a little filter 
      Ab    G 
(Filter, ah-ah) 
 

 
        Cm 
Take a ride into darkness 
           Bb 
There's no heartbreak for the heartless 
       Ab 
Little blue light couldn't harm us 
    Bb                      Eb 
Any more than sticks and stones 
 

 
                              Bb 
Just don't worry 'bout the price 
                          Cm 
Dive on in, the water's nice 
                        Ab         Eb 
Turn me on, embrace the unfamiliar 
                               Bb 
Baby, I'm a brand new way to hide 
                           Cm 
Learn to show your shiny side (ooh-ooh) 
                          Ab         Cm 
I'm not a lie, I'm just a little filter 
      Ab    G 
(Filter, ah-ah) 
 

 
           Cm 
So now I'm only gonna show you what I want you to see 
             Bb 
It's just like being reborn, it's a brand new me 
        Ab 
But the only trouble is with this phony crown 
           G 
Is that it stops being real when I put it down 
    Cm 
The day I finally looked up from my tiny screen 
      Bb 
Saw a bunch of empty chairs where my family had been 
     Ab 
So I guess I missed the plain, hard common sense 
         G 
That the ones who really matter I can't influence 
      Cm 
And I wish I could keep others from the same mistake 
        Bb 
And the tragedy that comes for swapping real for fake 
Ab 
Even if the only difference I could make 
         G 
Was to rewind, go back in time 
                                    Cm     Bb 
Reach behind the screen, remove the filter 
      Ab    G  Eb 
(Filter, ah-ah) 
 

 
                         Bb 
Took so many years to find 
                    Cm 
I was broken by design 
                           Ab            Eb 
Learned to love the beauty in the mirror 
                               Bb 
Baby, you don't ever need to hide 
                       Cm 
You're magnificent inside 
                           Ab          Cm Bb 
Life is sweet without that little filter 
     Ab  G  Cm 
(Filter, ah-ah)
