Encanto - Surface Pressure

[intro]
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

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
  B7
I take what I'm handed,
I break what's demanded, but

[verse 1]
Em
Under the surface
                    D
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker
     C
in a three-ring circus
Em
Under the surface
             D
Was Hercules ever like
             C
“Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?”
Em
Under the surface
                    D
I'm pretty surе I'm worthless
                 C
if I can't be of servicе
B
a flaw or a crack
B
The straw in the stack
B7
That breaks the camel's back
B7
What breaks the camel's back?

[chorus 1]
     Em
It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip,
              C          D
that'll never stop, whoa
Em
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip
                 G         D
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?
     B7
If I fall to
Em
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip,
                 C        D
and it won't let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till
              G          D
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?
     B7
If I falter

[verse 2]
Em
Under the surface
                        D
I hide my nerves and it worsens,
        C
I worry somethin' is gonna hurt us
Em
Under the surface
                 D
The ship doesn't swerve
                C
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
B7
You try to stop it tumbling
B7
But on and on it goes, but

[bridge]
G                Bm                 G7
Wait, if I could shake the crushing weight
        C
Of expectations would
     Cm                   G
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

[chorus 2]
Em
Pressure like a drip, drip,
                   C          D
drip that'll never stop, whoa
Em
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip
                 G         D
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

No mistakes, just
Em
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip,
                 C        D
and it won't let go, whoa
Em
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
                   G          D
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
              B7                      Em
No cracks, no breaks, no mistakes, no pressure
