Intro:Em x2
Em
Iʼm the strong one, Iʼm not nervous
D C
Iʼm as tough as the crust of the earth is
Em
I move mountains, I move churches
D C B
And I glow ʼcause I know what my worth is
Em
I donʼt ask how hard the work is
D C
Got a rough, indestructible surface
B
Diamonds and platinum, I find ʼem, I flatten ʼem
B
I take what Iʼm handed, I break whatʼs demanded, but
Em
Under the surface, I feel berserk as
D C
A tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
Em
Under the surface, was Hercules
D C
Ever like «Yo, I donʼt wanna fight Cerberus?»
Em
Under the surface, Iʼm pretty surе
D C
Iʼm worthless if I canʼt be of servicе
B
A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack
B
That breaks the camelʼs back, what breaks the camelʼs back?
Chorus: Em
Itʼs pressure like a drip, drip, drip
C D
thatʼll never stop, whoa
Em
Pressure thatʼll tip, tip, tip
G D
till you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister, your sisterʼs older
C
Give her all the heavy things we canʼt shoulder
G B
Who am I if I canʼt run with the ball?
If I fall to
Em
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip
C D
and it wonʼt let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
G D
till itʼs ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister, your sisterʼs stronger
C
See if she can hang on a little longer
G B
Who am I if I canʼt carry it all?
If I falter
Em
Under the surface, I hide my nerves
D C
And it worsens, I worry somethinʼ is gonna hurt us
Em
Under the surface, the ship
D C
Doesnʼt swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is
Em
Under the surface, I think about
D C
My purpose can I somehow preserve this?
B
Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows
B
You try to stop it tumbling, but on and on it goes, but
Bridge:G Bm G
Wait, if I could shake the crushing weight
C Cm
Of expectations would that free some room up for
G Bm G
Joy? Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
C Cm Em
Instead we measure this growing pressure
D Am
Keeps growing, keep going
B
ʼCause all we know is
Chorus:Em
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip
C D
thatʼll never stop, whoa
Em
Pressure thatʼll tip, tip, tip
G D
till you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister, it doesnʼt hurt and
C
See if she can handle every family burden
G B
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
N.C.
No mistakes, just
Em
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip
C D
and it wonʼt let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
G D
till itʼs ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh
Em
Give it to your sister and never wonder
C
If the same pressure wouldʼve pulled you under
G B
Who am I, if I donʼt have what it takes
Em
No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes, no pressure
