Chords

Alternate all Cmaj7's between Cmaj7 and C to taste. I find that Am and C in the bridge (except for that last C) are interchangeable, use whichever sounds right to you. C might be easier if you're already barring for everything. [Intro]

[Verse 1]
Cma7
What did I miss here?

                        F     G    F    G
What can't you take anymore?

Cmaj7
Expecting a whisper

                        F     G    F    G
I heard the slam of a door

Cmaj7
You say that all we ever do is fight

                                F
Gee, I don't know that that's true

         G                 F
Then I wonder, am I right?

G
Or is that part of our problem?

Cmaj7
Maybe I'm out of my mind, maybe I'm blocking out the truth.

                                  F
But it seems like just a little thing

                        G                  F         G
Like you don't want to listen and I can't shut up
[Chorus]
B                  Am/C
You don't have to smile at me

B                 Am/C
We don't have to talk

B                 C
All that I ask is you

D           C    Gm        F           C
Stop and remember it isn't always this way

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
You have the problem

                            F    G    F    G
It comes with our private jokes

Cmaj7
When you're in a fury

                            F    G     F    G
Laughter gets stuck in my throat

Cmaj7
Sometimes I wonder why we have so much trouble cheering each other up sometimes,

                                F
When one or the other of us is down

              G       F                      G
Instead it's like, when you're in a bad mood, I look at you and I think

Cmaj7                                                            F   G    F   G
Maybe she's knows something I don't know, maybe I should be upset
[Chorus]
B                  Am/C
You don't have to smile at me

B                 Am/C
We don't have to talk

B                 C
All that I ask is you

D           C    Gm        F           C
Stop and remember it isn't always this way

[Outro]
                C              Am
The way that I feel when you laugh

            F         G
Is like laughing

                C             Am     G
The way that I feel when you cry

        C
Is so bad
