Tom : G
[Intro] A Am G
A Am G Em
What did you do? What did you say?
Dm
Did you walk - or did you run away?
Em
Where are you now? Where have you been?
Dm
Did you go alone - or did you bring a friend?
A Am G
I need to know this - cause I notice when you're smilin'
A Am G
Out in the sun havin' fun and you're feelin' free
Dm Em
And I can tell you know how hard this life can be
Dm Em
But you keep on smilin' for me
Em
What went right? What went wrong?
Dm
Was it the story - or was it the song?
Em
Was it overnight - or did it take you long?
Dm
Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?
A Am G
Or all the above - oh how I love to see you smilin'
A Am G
And oh yeah - take a little pain just in case
Dm Em
You need something warm to embrace
Dm
To help you put on a smilin' face
Em
Hey, put on a smilin' face
Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt
Here's a summary of somethin' that you could smile about:
Say for instance, my girlfriend she bugs me all the time
But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time
( A Am G )
( A Am G )
( Dm Em Dm Em )
A Am G
I want to be you - whenever I see you smilin'
A Am G
Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do
Dm Em
Your worries and fears become your friends
Dm
And they end up smilin' at you
Em
Put on a smilin' face
( A Am G )
( A Am G )
