Fix your face, keep the pace, entertainer

But I know that you won't

You put all the weight of the world on your shoulders

Go to work, hide the hurt, you're a soldier
Am                           C
No one knows, you fight this war alone

Your weight, I'll carry it

Baby, when you can't find solid ground

Hands shaking, lost in the ocean
C
I'll be your island

When you think there's no one else around

I'll be your island
N.C.
(I'll be your island)

Tell a lie, tell a joke, you're like Superman
                                     Am
Just provide and survive any way you can
                  C
I know, I've been there before
                       Bb
Broken on the bathroom tile
                            Dm7
You picked me up a thousand times
                               C
You swear to God that you're alright but
C
I know you're a damn good liar, so
