Intro : F 

F                 Dm 
I am not gonna make it 
F                      Dm 
I can see the crowd around me 
           Am 
Is getting bigger & as it is 
              Gm 
I'm trying to figure out 
    A#       C    F 
Why I feel so isolated 


F 
I have my friends 
                    Dm 
But don't have much time for them 
      F 
Cause they I have my house 
       Dm        
A tiny pocket in my luggage 
      Am 
I have my boyfriend 
         Gm                  A#         C    F 
But he's also so tired of listening to me 


F              Dm 
Every single day 
                             F 
Seems like a moountain to climb 
                Dm 
Every single word 
                            Am 
It takes all my strength to get it out 
             Gm 
I'm tired of talking about me 
                      A# 
But in fact, it's the only thing 
        C 
I get a grip on 


F      Dm 
I feel like I'm not gonna make it 
F             Dm                      Am 
I really feel like I'm not gonna make it 
       Gm 
But it might be the best thing 
                  A#           C 
That ever happened to me, so now 

    
    F                    Am 
    Hey little girl keep on smiling!! 
                             Gm 
    Cause they don't want to hear you complaining 
             A# 
    Youre a lucky girl 
                C 
    Your life's so exciting 
            F                     Am 
    So I'll keep on making bad jokes 
                          Gm 
    cause you think I'm strong 
                                      A# 
    & it might be the way you like it 
            C                        F 
    Oh how I need you to like me... 


(F Dm F Dm Am Gm A# C) 
I have tried as hard as I can 
I have tried to go through 9 to 5 
But I was like a train 
Between work and bars 
Never found out what I was travelling for 

Now I have my car 
But I ain't got no safe place to go 
I still hold my drink 
But I'm not as thirsty as before 
I have my voice 
But I heard lately that people 
Don't want to hear sad songs 

Every single place 
It's all the same to me 
Every single face 
I know it will be replaced 
By anoyher smiley one 
Who will also be left soon 
Somewhere behind 

I feel like I'm not gonna make it 
I really feel like I'm not gonna make it 
But it might be the best thing 
That ever happened to me, so now 


     F                    Am 
    Hey little girl keep on smiling!! 
                             Gm 
    Cause they don't want to hear you complaining 
             A# 
    Youre a lucky girl 
                C 
    Your life's so exciting 
            F                     Am 
    So I'll keep on making bad jokes 
                          Gm 
    cause you think I'm strong 
                                      A# 
    & it might be the way you like it 
            C                        F 
    Oh how I need you to like me... 


    (F Am Gm A# C) 
    Please now just don't count on me 
    I can't handle it anymore 
    & don't ask me why 
    If you don't want me to lie 

    But don't be alarmed 
    Don't you see that I'm just down 
    Just don't worry soon 
    I'll be back on the tracks 


    Smiling!! 
    Cause I'll get tired of complaining 
    I'm a lucky girl 
    & I'm doing exactly what I wanted 
    So I'll keep on making bad jokes 
    Cause I need to be strong 
    It might be my only chance to get out of it 
    & now I really need to make it !!!
