AThough I smiled yesterday,
You F#mknow I’m not gonna smile anyDmore today 
(ASince you went away from me) C#mHow I miss you
(ASince you went away from me) C#mI long to kiss you
DUntil you aAre back with me, I’m never gonna smile anymore, oh no
Though I laughed yesterday,
You know I’m not gonna laugh anymore today

Until you are back with me, I’m never gonna smile anymore, oh no

So C#mwon’t you, won’t you, won’t you, won’t you let me smile again
