Am/Em/Em/F
[Verse 1]
Am Em Em F
In your chair where the giants play God pretending you are something more
Am Em Em F
Than just kids that went and got big enough to leave the front door
Am Em Em F
There's no school in being powerful or how to grow from conflict
Am Em Em F
What is expected when I am directed to never truly see myself?
[Chorus]
F Am Em F
Keep it in, keep it in boy (don’t let it out)
F Am Em F
Just smile, just smile now (stay sweet, stay small)
F Am Em F
Keep it in, keep it in boy (don't let it out)
F Am Em F
Just smile, just smile now (stay sweet, stay small)

It's just words but they can dig deep until they’re underneath the skin
Am Em Em F
All I am scared of, all I am was formed inside this frame of time
Am Em Em F
You're all small and vulnerable so why are you pretending to be wise and tall?
Am Em Em F
What is expected when I am directed to never truly see myself?
[Chorus]
F Am Em F
Keep it in, keep it in boy (don’t let it out)
F Am Em F
Just smile, just smile now (stay sweet, stay small)
F Am Em F
Keep it in, keep it in boy (don't let it out)

Just smile, just smile now (stay sweet, stay small)

Am Em F F Em F Em F
I know I cannot shake the words that made me fear these parts of me
Am Em F F Em Am
The parts that once were shamed I've learned to trust again
Em F
But what you've said lives in my head
[Chorus]
F F Am Em F
Let it out, let it out always, don't just keep it in
(Keep it in, keep it in boy, don't let it out)
F F Am Em F
Be strong be weak, be you, I'm not built by these words
(Just smile, just smile now, stay sweet, stay small)
F F Am Em F
Let it out, let it out always, don’t just keep it in
(Keep it in, keep it in boy, don't let it out)
