[Verse 1]
We can F#m7tell a hundred sAtories;
we can Emspeak a million Bm7words.
We can F#m7paint a thousand pAictures,
but Esus4will our heart be Estirred.
We can F#m7often make a Adifference,
with a Emkindly word or Bm7deed.
But sA/C#ometimes just a sDmile
             Esus4    G   F#sus4- F#  
is all we really need.
[Chorus]
Just a Esmile…B  
can F#lift a weary hBeart.
Just a Esmile…B  
can F#help us make a G#m7start.
When you’ve dEone your bBest,
praying F#you’ll sucG#m7ceed.E  
Then yBou will sC#m7ee,
                F#sus4   Esus4- E  
a smile is what we need.
[Verse 2]
This F#m7world is unforAgiving,
full of Emcoldness and deBm7spair.
Many F#m7hopes are disapApointed,
by a Esus4world that doesn’t Ecare.
And we F#m7see it in their Afaces,
as they Empass us on the Bm7street.
So we A/C#offer a hope and coDmfort,
                  Esus4     G   F#sus4- F#  
to the people that we meet.
[Chorus]
Just a Esmile…B  
can F#lift a weary G#m7heart.
Just a Esmile…B  
can F#help us make a G#m7start.
When you’ve dEone your bBest,
praying yF#ou’ll succG#m7eed.E  
Then Byou will C#m7see,
                 F#sus4   Esus4- E  
a smile is what we need.
Aadd2[Verse 3]
At G#m7times we feel downBhearted,
when F#mno one seems to C#m7care.
AG#m7bout the hope we Boffer,
or the F#sus4message that we F#bear.
For some G#m7hearts that’s just too hBardened,
to reF#mceive the Kingdom C#m7seed.
But Bcould it be a frieEndly smile,
       F#sus4       F#      A   G#sus4- G#  
is what they really need.
[Chorus]
Just a F#smile…C#  
can G#lift a weary A#mheart.
Just a F#smile…C#  
can G#help us make a A#m7start.
When you’ve F#done your C#best,
praying yG#ou’ll sucA#m7ceed.F#  
Then C#you will D#m7see,
                  G#sus4   B- C#  
a smile is what we need.
