[Chorus]
F F
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile, Don't have to stand there and burn inside
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
[Verse]
F F
She's working late and making eyes at the door, She's sick of everybody up on her floor,
Dm C F F
She wants the sun in her eyes, but all she gets is ignored
F F
She used to put it out and get it all back, But now she's sipping trying to carry the act,
Dm C F F
She's sweating under the lights, now she's beginning to pack
[Chorus]
F F
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile, Don't have to stand there and burn inside
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
F F
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend Nobody needs a best fake friend
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, don't hide it
[Instrumental]
F F
F F
[Verse]
F F
No hesitation now, she gets up and walks, She thinks of all the pain and pride did it cost
Dm C F F
She empties all the tip jars, and won't get back what she lost
F F
Outside the window we're two fingers to show She lifts her head I'm like some blur out of smoke
Dm C F F
She doesn't have to look back to know where she's gotta go
[Chorus]
F F
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile, Don't have to stand there and burn inside
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
F F
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend, Nobody needs a best fake friend
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, don't hide it
[Bridge]
Bb Dm C
If you don't bleed it, you don't need it anymore
Bb Dm C
If you don't need it, get up and leave it on the floor
Bb Dm C
No more believing like it's a voice you can't ignore
Bb
If you don't need it, you don't need it no
[Chorus]
F F
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile, Don't have to stand there and burn inside
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
F F
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend, Nobody needs a best fake friend
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, don't hide it
[Chorus]
F F
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile, Don't have to stand there and burn inside
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
Dm C F F
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
