[Intro]
D Em Bm
[Verse 1: Walker Hayes]
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 cEmomedian, an athlete
A golBmden boy, a black sheep
Whatever I had to Dbe to make the world throw candy at me
And collEmege was the same act, difBmferent play
It was October 3D1st every day
And the real world was an aBmll too familiar street
Another trick, another treat
[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]
Then I knDock-knock-knBmocked on your door
Every mask I ever wDore
Shattered like Emglass on the fBmloor
And it was liAke
[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon]
Halloween endDed
To all the people I preBmtended to be
Rest in peace, rDest in peace, Emrest in peaceBm  
Halloween enDded
To all the people I prBmetended to be
Rest in peace, rDest in peace, Emrest in peaceBm  
[Verse 2: Walker Hayes]
Hell, I don’t kDnow why I’m like this
But what would it Emchange if I knew
Maybe my paBmrents messed up
But, hey, they’re just dressed up kids too
DMaybe I guess what I’m trying to sEmay is I love you
For Bmbeing somebody I’m not ashamed to intrAoduce my skeletons to
I sDtill put on my SupBmerman cape and hide in it
But when I’m with you it comes untied for a minute
DHits the ground in the shEmadow of your skin
BmFor the first time I was comfortable in mine
[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]
Then I knDock-knock-knBmocked on your door
Every mask I ever wDore
Shattered like Emglass on the fBmloor
And it was liAke
[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon]
Halloween endDed
To all the people I preBmtended to be
Rest in peace, rDest in peace, Emrest in peaceBm  
Halloween enDded
To all the people I prBmetended to be
Rest in peace, rDest in peace, Emrest in peaceBm  
[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]
When I kDnock-knock-knoEmcked on your dBmoor
Every mask I ever wDore
Shattered like glass on the flEmoorBm  
When I knoDck-knock-knocked on your dBmoor
(When I knocked on your door)
Every mask I ever wDore
Shattered like glEmass on the flBmoor
It was like
[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon & Walker Hayes]
Halloween Dended

To all the people I pretended to be
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peaBmce

To all the people I preBmtended to be
Rest in peace, rDest in peace, rest in pBmeace

[Intro]

D Em Bm

[Verse 1: Walker Hayes]

Before I even learned to play a note, I was on stage

Mastering the art of selling myself at a young age

Fear and insecurity drove me like a Maserati

High school was like showing up at a costume party

I was a comedian, an athlete

A golden boy, a black sheep

Whatever I had to be to make the world throw candy at me

Em Bm

And college was the same act, different play

It was October 31st every day

And the real world was an all too familiar street

Another trick, another treat

[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]

D Bm

Then I knock-knock-knocked on your door

Every mask I ever wore

Em Bm

Shattered like glass on the floor

And it was like

[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon]

Halloween ended

To all the people I pretended to be

D Em Bm

Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace

Halloween ended

To all the people I pretended to be

D Em Bm

Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace

[Verse 2: Walker Hayes]

Hell, I don’t know why I’m like this

But what would it change if I knew

Maybe my parents messed up

But, hey, they’re just dressed up kids too

D Em

Maybe I guess what I’m trying to say is I love you

Bm A

For being somebody I’m not ashamed to introduce my skeletons to

D Bm

I still put on my Superman cape and hide in it

But when I’m with you it comes untied for a minute

D Em

Hits the ground in the shadow of your skin

For the first time I was comfortable in mine

[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]

D Bm

Then I knock-knock-knocked on your door

Every mask I ever wore

Em Bm

Shattered like glass on the floor

And it was like

[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon]

Halloween ended

To all the people I pretended to be

D Em Bm

Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace

Halloween ended

To all the people I pretended to be

D Em Bm

Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace

[Pre-Chorus: Walker Hayes]

D Em Bm

When I knock-knock-knocked on your door

Every mask I ever wore

Em Bm

Shattered like glass on the floor

D Bm

When I knock-knock-knocked on your door

(When I knocked on your door)

Every mask I ever wore

Em Bm

Shattered like glass on the floor

It was like

[Chorus: Nicolle Galyon & Walker Hayes]

Halloween ended

N.C.

To all the people I pretended to be

Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace

Halloween ended

To all the people I pretended to be

D Bm

Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace

[Outro: Nicolle Galyon & Walker Hayes]

Halloween ended

When I knock-knock-knocked on your door

To all the people I pretended to be

Halloween ended

Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace

When I knock-knock-knocked on your door

A D

Halloween ended

When I knock-knock-knocked on your door

To all the people I pretended to be

Halloween ended

When I knock-knock-knocked on your door

Rest in peace
