Intro on: E7 [Verse]
E7                  E7+9
   I've got a smile

     E7
That I put on

     E7
When I'm not at home

                    E7+9
When I'm not alone

E7                     E7+9
     But it is so hard

   E7
To make that smile

          E7
Because I know I'll be at home

    E7
And alone in a while

         E7
And if I look in a mirror

         E7
I see my eyes start to tear

        E7
I can't help but cry

          E7
Since you said goodbye
chorus
            Amaj7   G#m7   F#m7
I've got to hide

         G#m7       Amaj7   G#m7  F#m7
What I'm feeling in side

G#m7           Amaj7   G#m7   F#m7
Can't let them see

           G#m7      Amaj7   G#m7  F#m7
What you'e doing to  me

     E7
So I guess that's what I'll do

      E7
Won't let them see through

E7
  Won't let them know

               E7
That you could hurt me so   ya ya ya

E7                   E7+9
   I've got a laugh

     E7
That I put on

E7
    When I'm not at home

                     E7+9
When I'm not alone

E7
    But it is so hard

   E7
To fake that laugh

        E7
When my insides are crying

       E7
And my heart's torn in half

            E7
And all the music I hear

             E7
And things I valued so dear

        E7
Make me feel so blue

            E7
They all re mind me of you

           Amaj7   G#m7  F#m7
What can I do?

G#m7        Amaj7    G#m7  F#m7
Our love is through

       G#m7       Amaj7   G#m7   F#m7
And my purpose is gone

         G#m7        Amaj7  G#m7   F#m7
Still I  got to live on

        E7
I guess that's what I'll do

  E7
I won't let them see through

E7
   I won't let them know
That you could hurt me

 Now what can I do?

     G#m7       Amaj7    G#m7  F#m7
That I'm coming through

       G#m7       Amaj7   G#m7   F#m7
And my purpose is gone

        G#m7        Amaj7  G#m7   F#m7
Yet  I  got to hang on

   E7

I won't let them see through I won't let them know That you could hurt me so etc.
