Chords in this song · guitar

C Gm

Is it something on the ground

Cos it's sunshine all around

Don't you wanna see it

C Gm

Is there something I could say

That'll make it all okay

And help you to believe it

Am Gm

I feel so weak

Am Gm

Watching you sink

Chorus:

Why won't you smile?

Just for a little while

Just for a moment

You can show it, it's alright

Why won't you smile?

Give it a try

Just let it shine

Oh why won't you smile

Verse 2:

C Gm

Your tears have gone away

They leave you with the stains

There's no denying

C Gm

You hide behind your hair

and your bitter broken stare

I know that you've been crying

Am Gm

What did you lose

Am Gm

What can I do

-Chorus-

So the world can see

Smile, if not just for me

Oh smile

Ooh
