still there?
      Bbm
still there.
               Ab
I re-count the black days
Ab
recollect some circumstances
Gb                              Bbm
even though it takes my sleep
             Ab
I recall the black days
Ab                      Gb                  Bbm
the mismatches and the end of some affairs
             Ab
I recall the black days
Ab
between zenith and nadir
Gb                              Bbm
is there a pattern anywhere?
              Ab
I recall the black days
                                Gb
the blackest one it's not the last one but it's there
Bbm F
   and somewhere down there

[Chorus]
Ab
I'm smiling
Gb
still smiling
Bbm
I'm smiling
F
from the bottom of my shapeless soul
Ab
I'm smiling
Gb
still smiling
anyway

[Verse]
Bbm             Ab
I recount the black days
Ab
wade through all the shadows
     Gb                    Bbm
even so it takes my sleep
             Ab
I recall the black days
Ab
the cuts and the recovery
      Gb                 Bbm
from unnecessary growth
              Ab
I recall the black days
Ab
as maybe grim and melanized
     Gb
but also colourful

Bbm  F
   and somewhere down there

[Chorus]
Ab
I'm smiling
Gb
still smiling
Bbm
I'm smiling
F
from the bottom of my fairtrade soul
Ab
I'm smiling
Gb
still smiling

[Chorus]
Bbm
I'm smiling
F
still smiling
Ab
I'm smiling
Ab         Gb
even so it hurts sometimes
Ab
I'm smiling
Gb
still smiling

[Chorus]
Bbm
I'm smiling
F
still smiling
Ab
I'm smiling
Ab           Gb
from my hypothetical soul
