lyrics

SMILE

E D
Don't know how I'm gonna let it go
B A
Don't think I want the whole world to know
E D B A
I'm still full of insecurity trying to get over what you did to me
E D B A
Whether it was real or fake, perception rules the life you make
E D B A
I still fight invalidity, trying to get over what I did receive

E B A E
Smile, my friend, this is the end, o' this is the end

E D B A
I've said my goal is resolution so we present a real solution
E D B A
Please forgive my judgment, please forgive my presumption
E D B A
Please forgive me when I know not what I've done

E D B A
Despite the facts we look past the consequences
E D B A
We draw a line & we choose to love
E D B A
And if fire comes as a result of these actions
E D B A
I say let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

E B A E
Smile, my friend, this is the end, o' this is the end

We can be filled, be filled tonight

When release our heavy burdens and give up this brutal fight

E B A E
Smile, my friend, this is the end, o' this is the end
