Surface Pressure chords by Chase Holfelder

Verse 1
I'm (E minor) the strong one, I'm not nervous
(D major) I'm as tough as the (C major) crust of the earth is
I move (E minor) mountains, I move churches
And (D major) I glow cause I (C major) know what my worth is
(E minor) I don't ask how hard the work is
(D major) Got a rough and de (C major) structible surface
Dia (B major) monds and platinum,
I find all my platinum
I take what I'm (D sharp minor) handed,
I (E minor) break what's demanded, but
Under the surface, I feel berserk
As a (D major) tightrope walker in a
three -wing (C major) circus
(E minor) Under the surface,
was Hercules ever (D major) like yo,
I don't wanna fight (C major) Cerber (E minor) us
Under the surface,
I'm pretty sure
I'm worth less (D major) if I can't be of (C major) service
A (B major) flaw, a crack, the straw in the stack,
that breaks a camel's back,
what breaks a camel's back is
(E minor) Pressure like a drip, drip, drip,
that'll never stop, (C major) whoa (D major)
Pres (E minor) sure that'll tip, tip, tip,
till you just go (D major) bop, (G major) whoa (D major)
Give (E minor) it to your sister,
your sister (C major) 's older (E minor)
(D major) Give (C major) her all the heavy things
we can't shoulder
(D major) Who am I if I can (G major) 't run with (C major) the ball? (B major)
If I fall, (E minor) too
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip
And it won't let (C major) go, whoa (D major)
Pres (E minor) sure like a tick, tick, tick
Till it's ready to blow, (G major) whoa (D major)
Give (E minor) it to your sister,
your sister's stronger
(D major) See (C major) if she can hang on a little longer (D major)
Who (G major) am I if I can't carry it all, (B major)
if I fall down?
(E minor) Under the surface,
I hide my nerves and it (D major) worsens
I worry something is (C major) gonna hurt us
(E minor) Under the surface,
the ship doesn't (D major) swerve
Has it heard how big (C major) the iceberg is?
(E minor) Under the surface,
I think about (D major) my purpose
Can I somehow preserve (C major) this?
Light (B major) up the dominoes,
the light winds blow
She tries to stop the toppling,
but I'm an only ghost
But (G major) wait! If I could shake the crushing
weight of expectations (C major)
Would that free (C minor) some room at (D major) for (G major) tune?
Or relaxation? (D major)
Or simple pleas (Fdim) ure?
Instead (G major) we (C major) measure this (C minor)
grow (B major) ing (E minor) pressure
Keeps (D major) growing, keep going (A minor)
Cause all (B major) we know is (E minor)
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip
That'll never stop, (D major) (C major) whoa (D major)
Pres (E minor) sure that'll tip, tip, tip
Till you just go bop, (G major) whoa (D major)
Give (E minor) it to your sister, it doesn't hurt
An (C major) d see if she can handle
every family burden
(D major) Watch (G major) as she buckles and bends
But never break (B major) s
No mistakes, just
(E minor) Pressure like a drip, drip, drip
And I won't let go, (C major) whoa (D major)
Pres (E minor) sure like a tick, tick, tick
Till it's ready to blow, (G major) whoa (D major)
Give (E minor) it to your sister, never wonder
If (C major) the same pressure
would have pulled you under
Who (G major) am I if I don't have what it takes? (B major)
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes, no pressure
