[D/F#] Is that [G]smile for m[A11]e
[D/F#] Or did you [G]come by it[A11] honestly
[D/F#] Can I [G]show you [A11]around
[D/F#] Can I [G]help you tear your [A11]fences down
Cos' I know you [G]foster few il[D/F#]lusions
You [A11]suffer no [D/F#]fools

[G] Don't just [D/F#]waste a[A11]way
BRIDGE (as for intro)
VERSE 2:
Is that smile for me
Have you kept it hidden consciously
Like an old-time movie queen
Always noticed, rarely seen
I've got no answers
No magic cures
And I've got no plans
But I know the darkness
That haunts your eyes
And I know those trembling hands
