Smilin

Intro : C

C                 Am
I am not gonna make it
C                      Am
I can see the crowd around me
           Em
Is getting bigger & as it is
              Dm
I'm trying to figure out
    F       G    C
Why I feel so isolated

C
I have my friends
               Am              C
But don't have much time for them
      C
Cause they I have my house
       Am              G
A tiny pocket in my luggage
          Dm
I have my boyfriend
                 F        G             C
But he's also so tired of listening to me


C              Am
Every single day
                             C
Seems like a moountain to climb
                Am
Every single word
                            Em
It takes all my strength to get it out
             Dm
I'm tired of talking about me
                      F
But in fact, it's the only thing
        G
I get a grip on

C      Am
I feel like I'm not gonna make it
C             Am                      Em
I really feel like I'm not gonna make it
       Dm
But it might be the best thing
                  F           G
That ever happened to me, so now


    C                    Em
    Hey little girl keep on smiling!!
                             Dm
    Cause they don't want to hear you complaining
             F
    Youre a lucky girl
                G
    Your life's so exciting
            C                     Em
    So I'll keep on making bad jokes
                          Dm
    cause you think I'm strong
                                      F
    & it might be the way you like it
            G                        C
    Oh how I need you to like me...


(C Am C Am Em Dm F G)
I have tried as hard as I can
I have tried to go through 9 to 5
But I was like a train
Between work and bars
Never found out what I was travelling for

Now I have my car
But I ain't got no safe place to go
I still hold my drink
But I'm not as thirsty as before
I have my voice
But I heard lately that people
Don't want to hear sad songs

Every single place
It's all the same to me
Every single face
I know it will be replaced

By anoyher smiley one
Who will also be left soon
Somewhere behind

I feel like I'm not gonna make it
I really feel like I'm not gonna make it
But it might be the best thing
That ever happened to me, so now










     C                    Em
    Hey little girl keep on smiling!!
                             Dm
    Cause they don't want to hear you complaining
             F
    Youre a lucky girl
                G
    Your life's so exciting
            C                     Em
    So I'll keep on making bad jokes
                          Dm
    cause you think I'm strong
                                      F
    & it might be the way you like it
            G                        C
    Oh how I need you to like me...


    (C Em Dm F G)
    Please now just don't count on me
    I can't handle it anymore
    & don't ask me why
    If you don't want me to lie

    But don't be alarmed
    Don't you see that I'm just down
    Just don't worry soon
    I'll be back on the tracks

    Smiling!!
    Cause I'll get tired of complaining
    I'm a lucky girl
    & I'm doing exactly what I wanted
    So I'll keep on making bad jokes
    Cause I need to be strong
    It might be my only chance to get out of it
    & now I really need to make it !!!
