G       D            Em
I love making you believe
          C               G
What you get is what you see
            D
But I'm so fake happy
Em         C
I feel so fake happy
G         D          Em
And I bet everybody here
    C           G
Is just as insincere
              D
We're all so fake happy
Em          C
And I know fake happy

C
So I been doin' a good job
Of makin' 'em think
I'm quite alright
But I hope I don't blink
You see, it's easy when I'm stompin' on a beat
But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath

C
Hey, if I smile with my teeth
Bet you'd believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I'd believe me

Chorus:
      G
Oh please don't ask me how I've been
                       C
Don't make me play pretend,
oh no, oh what's the use
    G            C         Em            D     G
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too

And if I go out tonight
Dress up my fears
You think I look alright with these mascara tears?
See, I'm gonna draw my lipstick wider than my mouth
And if the lights are low, they'll never see me frown

Hey, if I smile with my teeth
I bet you'd believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I'd believe me

Chorus

G                              Bm
I know I said that I was doing good and that
           C
I'm happy now
    G                    C                D
I should've known when things are going good that's
        Em          G
when I get knocked down
