Capo V
[Intro]
C
CI am not gonna makAme it 
CI can see the crowd aroAmund me 
Is getting Gbigger & as it is 
I'm trying to Dmfigure out 
Why FI feel sGo isoClated 
CI have my friends 
But don't have Ammuch time for thCem 
Cause Cthey I have my house 
A tiny Ampocket in my lugGgage 
I have my Dmboyfriend 
But he's also so Ftired of Glistening to mCe 
CEvery single daAmy 
Seems like a moountain to cliCmb 
Every single worAmd 
It takes all my strength to Gget it out 
I'm tired of Dmtalking about me 
But in fact, it's the Fonly thing 
I get a Ggrip on 
CI feel Amlike I'm not gonna make it 
CI really feel Amlike I'm not gonna make Git 
But it Dmmight be the best thing 
That ever happened Fto me, so nGow 
    CHey little girl keep Emon smiling!! 
    Cause they don't want to Dmhear you complaining 
    Youre a lFucky girl 
    Your life's Gso exciting 
    So I'll Ckeep on making bad jokEmes 
    cause you think I'm stDmrong 
    & it might be the way you like it F  
    Oh how I Gneed you to like me... C  
( C   Am   C   Am   G   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 
    HCey little girl keep oEmn smiling!! 
    Cause they don't want to Dmhear you complaining 
    Youre a lFucky girl 
    Your life's Gso exciting 
    So I'll Ckeep on making bad jokEmes 
    cause you think I'm stDmrong 
    & it might be the way you like it F  
    Oh how I Gneed you to like me... C  
    ( 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 !!! 
[Finale]

Smilin'!! (Pascale Picard)

Capo V

[Intro]

C Am

I am not gonna make it

C Am

I can see the crowd around me

Is getting bigger & as it is

I'm trying to figure out

F G C

Why I feel so isolated

I have my friends

Am C

But don't have much time for them

Cause they I have my house

Am G

A tiny pocket in my luggage

I have my boyfriend

F G C

But he's also so tired of listening to me

C Am

Every single day

Seems like a moountain to climb

Every single word

It takes all my strength to get it out

I'm tired of talking about me

But in fact, it's the only thing

I get a grip on

C Am

I feel like I'm not gonna make it

C Am G

I really feel like I'm not gonna make it

But it might be the best thing

F G

That ever happened to me, so now

C Em

Hey little girl keep on smiling!!

Cause they don't want to hear you complaining

Youre a lucky girl

Your life's so exciting

C Em

So I'll keep on making bad jokes

cause you think I'm strong

& it might be the way you like it

G C

Oh how I need you to like me...

C Am C Am G 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

Cause they don't want to hear you complaining

Youre a lucky girl

Your life's so exciting

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 !!!
