Surface Pressure Uke tab by Encanto

[Intro]
Em
Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
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
 
 
[Verse 2]
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
  B
I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded, but
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Em
Under the surface
                    D                     C
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
Em
Under the surface
             D                      C
Was Hercules ever like “Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?”
Em
Under the surface
                    D                          C
I'm pretty surе I'm worthless if I can't be of servicе
B
A flaw or a crack
B
The straw in the stack
B
That breaks the camel's back
B
What breaks the camel's back?
 
 
[Bridge]
     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?
 
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?
 
If I falter
 
 
[Chorus 2]
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
B
You try to stop it tumbling
B
But on and on it goes, but
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                Bm                 G7
Wait, if I could shake the crushing weight
        C                  Cm                   G
Of expectations would that free some room up for joy?
        Bm               G7
Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
           C    Cm      Em
Instead we measure this growing pressure
      D             Am
Keeps growing, keep going
       B7
'Cause all we know is
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                                             C          D
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, it doesn't 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                                                 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
                                      Em
No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes, no pressure
