Eb
                    F
With just a little smile
       Gm
We'll straighten it out
      Eb                 Dm
Yeah, even a fight like this
Am              Dm
You gotta start somewhere
Eb                        
And not with a kiss
               F
Maybe a little word
Gm
Following on
Eb                   Dm
From another word or two
Am        Dm
Put them together
Eb                   
Soon we can break on through

Bb/E                              C/E
Someone else might come with another plan
                           
Someone else could be twice as smart
Bb/E                              C/E
I'll put one foot in front of the other
                          Gm      Eb
No other way I can make a start

                    F
With just a little joke
      Gm
We're getting somewhere
Eb                   Dm
Even on a night like this
Am                    Dm
It doesn't have to be funny
Eb
These things are hit and miss

                    F
But just a little smile
   Gm
Is better than that
Eb                   Dm
Better than a pot of gold
Am                    Dm
You can't ask for more than
Eb                         F
Something that won't grow old

Bb/E                                C/E
