The Anonymous Ones Ukulele chords by Amandla Stenberg

🎸 Verse 1:
D                                                           G
Ever look at all the people who seem to know exactly how to be?
            D                                                         G
You think, "They don't need piles of prescriptions to function naturally"
     D
Well, look again, and you might catch it
                   G
Just stay a minute more
             D
There's this little moment after the sunny smile
         G
As their eyes fall to the floor

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
       D                     G
And the truth starts peeking through
          D               G
They're a lot like me and you
         D            G
They can fake a smile, too

🎸 Chorus:
     Bm
The anonymous ones
D                              G
Never let you see the ache they carry
             Bm
All of those anonymous ones
    D                              G
Who never name that quiet pain they bury
        Bm                                D
So they keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide
            G
But what if everybody's secret is they have that secret side?
       D                          Em
And to know they're somehow not alone
                                G
Well, that's all they're hoping for
        F                   Em
What if they didn't have to stay

🎸 Verse 2:
D
Spot the girl who stays in motion
                               G
She spins so fast so she won't fall
D
She's built a wall with her achievements

To keep out the question
         G
"Without it, is she worth anything at all "
   D          G
So nobody can know
     D                     G
Just what the cracks might show
    D                  G
How deep and dark they go

🎸 Chorus:
                Bm
There are those anonymous ones
D                                      G
Stuck inside the perfect frame they're faking
          Bm
All of us anonymous ones
    D                                   G
Who pick themselves apart 'til they start breaking
       Bm                              D*
And we keep on keeping secrets that we think we have to hide
            G
But what we really need is somebody to see that secret side
       D                      Em                         G
And to know we're somehow not alone is all we're hoping for
         F                  Em
And that we wouldn't have to be

🎸 Chorus:
Bm*
The anonymous ones
D*                                    G*
Might just need this moment to remind them
Bm*
That there are more anonymous ones
D*                                        G*
They're out there if you take the time to find them
Bm*                             Em*
Just to know we're somehow not alone
G*
Isn't that all we're ever really looking for?
F*                        Em*
Maybe we, we don't have to be
