Verse 1
Em
I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous

I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is

I move mountains, I move churches
D
C
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
B
Em
I don't ask how hard the work is

C
Got a rough, indestructible surface
B
Diamonds and platinum,
I find 'em, I flatten 'em
B/D#
I take what I'm handed,
Verse 2
I break what's demanded, but
Em
Under the surface I feel berserk
D
C
as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
Em
D
Under the surface was Hercules ever like,
C
"Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus"?
Em
Under the surface
D
I'm pretty sure I'm worthless
C
if I can't be of service

A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack
B/D#
That breaks the camel's back
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,
G
D/F#
'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
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,
C
D
and it won't let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick,
G
D
'til it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh
Em
Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger
C
See if she can hang on a little longer
G
B
B/D#
Who am I if I can't carry it all? If I falter
Verse 3
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 as it heard
C
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, a light wind blows
B/D#
You try to stop it tumbling
But on and on it goes
Bridge 1
G
Bm
But wait, if I could shake
Bm7b5
C
The crushing weight of expectations
Cm7
G
Would that free some room up for joy?

Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
C
Instead, we measure
Cm7
Em
this growing pressure
D
Am
Keeps growing, keep going
B
'Cause all we know is
Chorus 2
Em
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip,
C
D
that'll never stop, whoa
Em
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip,
G
D
'til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
Em
Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt
C
and see if she can handle
every family burden
G
Watch as she buckles and bends
B
but never breaks
No mistakes, just
Em
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip,
C
D
and it won't let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick,
G
D
'til it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh
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?
B/D#
B
No cracks, no breaks
Em
No mistakes, no pressure
