[Intro]
Em
Em


[Intro]
Em
I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
D                    C
I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
Em
I move mountains

I move churches
D                    C                     B
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is

Em
I don't ask how hard the work is
D                  C
Got a rough, indestructible surface
B
Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten
'em
 B
I take what I'm handed, I break what's 
demanded, but


[Verse 1]
Em
Under the surface
                   D                     
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a 
C
three-ring circus
Em
Under the surface
            D                      C
Was Hercules ever like “Yo, I don't wanna 
fight Cerberus?”
Em
Under the surface
                   D                       
I'm pretty surе I'm worthless if I can't be 
  C
of servicе
B
A flaw or a crack
B
The straw in the stack
B
That breaks the camel's back
B
What breaks the camel's back?


[Chorus 1]
    Em                                
It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, 
             C          D
that'll never stop, whoa
Em                                          
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till you just
   G         D
go pop, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister, your sister's older
C
Give her all the heavy things we can't 
shoulder
G                                B
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

If I fall to
Em                                       
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it 
         C        D
won't let go, whoa
Em                                         
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's 
        G          D
ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister, your sister's 
stronger
C
See if she can hang on a little longer
G                            B
Who am I if I can't carry it all?

If I falter


[Verse 2]
Em
Under the surface
                       D                
I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry 
C
somethin' is gonna hurt us
Em
Under the surface
                D                      C
The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big 
the iceberg is
Em
Under the surface
                 D
I think about my purpose
              C
Can I somehow preserve this?
B
Line up the dominoes
B
A light wind blows
B
You try to stop it tumbling
B
But on and on it goes, but


[Bridge]
G                Bm                 Bdim
Wait, if I could shake the crushing weight
       C                  Cm6              
Of expectations would that free some room up
    G
for joy?
        Bm               Bdim
Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
           C    Cm6     Em
Instead we measure this growing pressure
      Bm             Am
Keeps growing, keep going
       B7
'Cause all we know is


[Chorus 2]
Em                                       
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll 
     C          D
never stop, whoa
Em                                          
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till you just
   G         D
go pop, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and
C
See if she can handle every family burden
G                                        
Watch as she buckles and bends but never 
B
breaks
N.C.
No mistakes, just
Em                                       
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it 
         C        D
won't let go, whoa
Em                                         
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's 
        G          D
ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister and never wonder
C
If the same pressure would've pulled you 
under
G                                 B
Who am I, if I don't have what it takes

No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes, no 
Em
pressure
