The Anonymous Ones

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

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

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

Anonymous anymore?

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

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

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

Anonymous anymore

Bridge:
Db
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
Bbm
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
Db
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
Bbm
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
Gb                  Ebm
The anonymous one, noticed by none
Db
The parts we can't tell, we carry them well
Bbm
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
Ebm
The parts we can't tell
Bbm
We carry them well
Gb
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy
Ebm
The parts we can't tell
Db
We carry them well
Gb
But that doesn't mean they're not heavy

Chorus:
Bbm
The anonymous ones
Db                                     Gb
Might just need this moment to remind them
Bbm
That there are more anonymous ones
Db                                         Gb
They're out there if you take the time to find them
Bbm                              Ebm
Just to know we're somehow not alone
Gb
Isn't that all we're ever really looking for?
E                         Ebm
Maybe we, we don't have to be
