Normal Life By: Carole L. Abbott [Intro] D D G D [Verse 1]
                D
She’s perfectly fine

   G
As pretty as a dime

                  D
She has a perfect life

A
Happy all the time

D
She’s posting on social media

    G
And writing to her friends

                   D
Like nothings ever happened

          A
But she’s really just playing pretend

                   D
So she’s perfectly fine

    A
And happy all the time
[Chorus]
D
     This is what they all think

G
     They don’t know the real me

D                                 A
     They think I’m just living a normal life

D
     This is me living in disguise

       G
Always covering it up and hiding it inside

       D
I want someone to know but that’s really hard

   A
To find
[Verse 2]
                     D
Well she’s perfectly fine

       G
Always carrying a smile

                      D
But she’s not smiling inside

        A
And she hasn't in a while

D
     She’s always happy go lucky

G              G
Has it so easy never resists to please

A                    G
People so she’s just she’s just

A
She’s just

          G
Perfectly fine
[Chorus]
D
     This is what they all think

G
     They don’t know the real me

D                                 A
     They think I’m just living a normal life

D
     This is me living in disguise

       G
Always covering it up and hiding it inside

       D
I want someone to know but that’s really hard

   A
To find

    Sometimes I feel like i’m not gonna

Bb
Make it out

F
Alive

Bb                         Eb
     And they think that I handle it well

        Bb              F
But I’m only hiding the way I feel

Bb                          Eb
     They think I’ve got it all figured out

            Bb                   F
But there’s hardly a time when I have

       Eb                        F
I need love, I need hope, I need strength

              Eb
to carry this weight

        F
And someday
Cm Gm F Cm Gm F
Cm                Gm         F
   I’ll realize I can’t keep living this way

Cm              Gm              F
   Hopelessness keeping me from living

Cm                  Gm
   Sleepless nights Wasted time

F                 D
Flashbacks in the dark

Cm           Gm
   I need to relieve myself of this

F                           Eb
   But nobody’s there to to know

Cm            Gm
   I’m holdin on

        Gm             F
But I’m slipping every minute

Eb                     Bb
   They just think I’m handling it well,

Eb                      F
   They think that I’m fine

Eb                  Bb
   No one knows the mess I’m in

Eb                      F
   So I’m just living a normal life
[Chorus]

     This is what they all think

Eb
     They don’t know the real me

Bb                                F
     They think I’m just living a normal life
