Surface Pressure chords by Chase Holfelder
Verse 1
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
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 and destructible surface
B
Diamonds and platinum,
I find all my platinum
D#m
I take what I'm handed,
Em
I break what's demanded, but
Under the surface, I feel berserk
D
As a tightrope walker in a
C
three -wing circus
Em
Under the surface,
D
was Hercules ever like yo,
C
Em
I don't wanna fight Cerberus
Under the surface,
I'm pretty sure
D
C
I'm worth less if I can't be of service
B
A flaw, a crack, the straw in the stack,
that breaks a camel's back,
what breaks a camel's back is
Em
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip,
C
D
that'll never stop, whoa
Em
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip,
D
G
D
till you just go bop, whoa
Em
Give it to your sister,
C
Em
your sister's older
D
C
Give her all the heavy things
we can't shoulder
D
G
C
B
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
Em
If I fall, too
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip
C
D
And it won't let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
G
D
Till it's ready to blow, whoa
Em
Give it to your sister,
your sister's stronger
D
C
D
See if she can hang on a little longer
G
B
Who am I if I can't carry it all,
if I fall down?
Em
Under the surface,
D
I hide my nerves and it worsens
C
I worry something is gonna hurt us
Em
Under the surface,
D
the ship doesn't swerve
C
Has it heard how big the iceberg is?
Em
Under the surface,
D
I think about my purpose
C
Can I somehow preserve this?
B
Light up the dominoes,
the light winds blow
She tries to stop the toppling,
but I'm an only ghost
G
But wait! If I could shake the crushing
C
weight of expectations
Cm
D
G
Would that free some room at fortune?
D
Or relaxation?
Fdim
Or simple pleasure?
G
C
Cm
Instead we measure this
B
Em
growing pressure
D
Am
Keeps growing, keep going
B
Em
Cause all we know is
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip
D
C
D
That'll never stop, whoa
Em
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip
G
D
Till you just go bop, whoa
Em
Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt
C
And see if she can handle
every family burden
D
G
Watch as she buckles and bends
B
But never breaks
No mistakes, just
Em
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip
C
D
And I won't let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
G
D
Till it's ready to blow, whoa
Em
Give it to your sister, never wonder
C
If the same pressure
would have pulled you under
G
B
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes, no pressure
