Chords

This tab is taken straight from YouTuber Abby Lyons's cover of the song. Cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvO_g53gkT8 Abby uses the alternates in her cover, but it still sounds great without it. Sorry I don't have bpms! Also, Abby moves the intro to an outro, and changed the words about, which is the way I'm going to write it in the tab. The chord progression gets split in some sections, which will be noted by a bracket around the chords and a dash between them, so here's that strum pattern as well
       Em       D
Verse: D  D    dU udududu
The split is the same for the pre-chorus, since it's essentially the same pattern, lines 1&3 are just the first half of the verse. Pre-chorus Line 4: One downstrum on each chord, will be noted with an x next to the chord Chorus: The split is the exact same, except Em-C first then Em-D I know it's a lot of information, but Abby's cover is actually really beautiful and fun to play! [Verse 1] C [Em - D] So I've been doing a good job of makin' 'em think C [Em - D] I'm quite alright, better hope I don't blink C [Em - D] You see, it's easy when I'm stomping on a beat C [Em - D] But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath [Pre-Chorus]
          C
Hey, if I smile with my teeth
[Em - D] Bet you believe me

If I smile with my teeth
Em(x) D(x) I think I believe me [Chorus]

Oh please, don't ask me how I've been

                   C
Don't make me play pretend

                     C
Oh no, oh what's the use?
[Em - C] [Em - D] G G Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too [Verse 2] C [Em - D] And if I go out tonight, dress up my fears C [Em - D] You think I look alright with these mascara tears? C [Em - D] See, I'm gonna draw up my lipstick wider than my mouth C [Em - D] And if the lights are low they'll never see me frown [Pre-Chorus]
          C
Hey, if I smile with my teeth
[Em - D] Bet you believe me
     C
If I smile with my teeth
Em(x) D(x) I think I believe me [Chorus]

I know I said that I was doing good and that I'm happy now
Ooh ooh
  G                                         G
I shoulda known that when things were going good

                            G   G
That's when I'd get knocked down

G(x) We're all so fake happy
