[Intro]
Em
I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous

D                    C
 I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is

Em
I move mountains
I move churches
D                    C                     B
 And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is

Em
I don't ask how hard the work is

D                  C
 Got a rough, indestructible surface

B
Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em

  B7
I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but
[Pre-chorus]
Em                            D
      No one else was in the room where it happened

     C                          B7
The room where it happened, the room where it happened

Em                      D
No one else was in the room where it happened,

      C                           B7
the room where it happened, the room where it happened

Em                           D
No one really knows how the parties get to yes,

      C                            B7
the pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess

C7                                 B7
We just assume that it happens, but no one else is in the room where it happens.
[Chorus]
  Em                                              C          D
It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that'll never stop, whoa

Em                                              G         D
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh

Em
Give it to your sister, your sister's older

C
Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder

G                                B
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?

     B7
If I fall to

Em                                                 C        D
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa

Em                                                  G          D
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh

Em
Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger

C
See if she can hang on a little longer

G                            B
Who am I if I can't carry it all?

     B7
If I falter
[Verse]
Em
Under the surface

                        D                C
I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us

Em
Under the surface

                 D                      C
The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is

Em
Under the surface

                 D
I think about my purpose

              C
Can I somehow preserve this?

B
Line up the dominoes

B
A light wind blows

B7
You try to stop it tumbling

B7
But on and on it goes, but
[Pre-chorus]
  Em  D                   C                         B7
Wait, I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens

Em D                C                        B7
I-I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens

Em                  D                         C                          B7
I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens

E D                  C       B7
I--I wanna be in the room whoa-whoa
[Chorus]
E                  D                                C                    B7
I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens,

E                  D                                C                    B7
I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens,

Em                      D                        C     B7
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa

Em                      D                        C     B7
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh

   Em            D
The art of the compromise -

    C                  B7
 Hold your nose and close your eyes

   Em                     D
We want our leaders to save the day -

    C                                 B7
But we don’t get a say in what they trade away
[Outro]
Em                                                 C        D
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa

Em                                                  G          D
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh

Em
Give it to your sister and never wonder

C
If the same pressure would've pulled you under

G                                 B
Who am I, if I don't have what it takes

              B7                      Em
No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes, click boom
