Verse 1. 

Creeping in slowly, (chord Am) 

A pressure wholly (chord F)

In my brain (chord C)

I can’t sustain (chord G)


Pre-Chorus


You need to perform (chord F)

Always forced to perform (chord G)

You need to conform (chord Am)

Always forced to conform (chord G)


Chorus


I perform, I conform, (chord C)

But inside I’m torn, (chord G)

Through the storm, (chord Am)

I’ll transform… (chord F)


Verse 2.


I change for you, (chord Am)

But do I change for me? (chord F)

You try to subdue (chord C)

My creativity (chord G)


Pre-Chorus


You need to perform (Chord F)

Always forced to perform (chord G)

You need to conform (chord Am)

Always forced to conform (chord G)


Chorus


I perform, I conform, (chord C)

But inside I’m torn, (chord G)

Through the storm, (chord Am)

I’ll transform… (chord F)


Bridge:


I change for you, (chord Am)

Solely for you, (chord G)

How is that fair? (chord F)

Tell me. Please. (chord C)
