       Am
If I scream at the top of my lungs
          G
Will you hear what I don't say?
   Dm
If I dance like I'm on a stage
          F          G
Will you see I seem out of place?

If I put on a disguise
Will you think everything's alright?
If I leave before the end
Will you forget that I was there?

                 Am
When you saw me leaving
                        Em
Did you think I had a place to go?
                     Dm
Since you stopped believing
             F
I've had to put on my own show

Chorus:
                 Am
I'll put on a performance
                Em
I'll put on a show
            Dm
It is a performance
             F G
I do it all so
                  Am
You won't see me hurting
                   Em
When my heart it breaks
                  Dm
I'll put on a performance
                     F  G
I'll put on a brave face

Even when I was hiding
You could always find me
Now you've stopped looking for me
But I'm still playing hide and seek

I want you to notice
But you just don't see
The show is wasted on you
So I perform for me

When you saw me leaving
Did you think I had a place to go?
Since you stopped believing
I've had to put on my own show
