[Verse 1]

Cma7
What did I miss here?
                        F     G    F    G
What can't you take anymore?
Cmaj7
Expecting a whisper
                        F     G    F    G
I heard the slam of a door
Cmaj7
You say that all we ever do is fight
                                F
Gee, I don't know that that's true
         G                 F
Then I wonder, am I right?
G
Or is that part of our problem?
Cmaj7
Maybe I'm out of my mind, maybe I'm blocking out the truth.
                                  F
But it seems like just a little thing
                        G                  F         G
Like you don't want to listen and I can't shut up

[Chorus]

B                  Am/C
You don't have to smile at me
B                 Am/C
We don't have to talk
B                 C
All that I ask is you
D           C    Gm        F           C
Stop and remember it isn't always this way

[Verse 2]

Cmaj7
You have the problem
                            F    G    F    G
It comes with our private jokes
Cmaj7
When you're in a fury
                            F    G     F    G
Laughter gets stuck in my throat
Cmaj7
Sometimes I wonder why we have so much trouble cheering each other up sometimes,
                                F
When one or the other of us is down
              G       F                      G
Instead it's like, when you're in a bad mood, I look at you and I think
Cmaj7                                                            F   G    F   G
Maybe she's knows something I don't know, maybe I should be upset

[Chorus]

B                  Am/C
You don't have to smile at me
B                 Am/C
We don't have to talk
B                 C
All that I ask is you
D           C    Gm        F           C
Stop and remember it isn't always this way

[Outro]
                C              Am
The way that I feel when you laugh
            F         G
Is like laughing
                C             Am     G
The way that I feel when you cry
        C
Is so bad
