^DBefore I even learned to play a note, I was on stage ^EmMastering the art of selling myself at a young age ^DFear and insecurity drove me like a Maserati High school was like showing up at a costume party I was a c^Emomedian, an athlete A gol^Bmden boy, a black sheep Whatever I had to ^Dbe to make the world throw candy at me And coll^Emege was the same act, dif^Bmferent play It was October 3^D1st every day And the real world was an a^Bmll too familiar street Another trick, another treat

Then I kn^Dock-knock-kn^Bmocked on your door Every mask I ever w^Dore Shattered like ^Emglass on the f^Bmloor And it was li^Ake
