[Verse 1]
G C
Whenever I feel afraid I hold my head erect
D G D G
And whistle a happy tune so no one will suspect I'm afraid
G C
While shivering in my shoes I strike a careless pose
D G D G
And whistle a happy tune and no one ever knows I'm afraid
[Bridge]
Eb G
The result of this deception is very strange to tell
D A A7 D7
For when I fool the people I fear I fool myself as well
[Verse 2]
G C
I whistle a happy tune and every single time
D G D G
The happiness in the tune convinces me that I'm not afraid
C G
Make believe you're brave and the trick will take you far
C G
You may be as brave as you make believe you are
[Instrumental]
C G
[Outro]
A D G
You may be as brave as you make believe you are
