C         Am

I am not gonna make it

Why I feel so isolated

A tiny pocket in my luggage

But he’s also so tired of listening to me

C       Am

Every single day

Seems like a moountain to climb

         F      G

That ever happened to me, so now

C          Em

  Hey little girl keep on smiling !!
Dm

  Cause they don’t want to hear you complaining
F
Youre a lucky girl

        G
Your life’s so exciting
C           Em

  So I’ll keep on making bad jokes
Dm

  cause you think I’m strong
F

  & it might be the way you like it
G            C

  Oh how I need you to like me…

(C Am C Am Em Dm F G)
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

C          Em

  Hey little girl keep on smiling !!
Dm

  Cause they don’t want to hear you complaining
F
Youre a lucky girl

        G
Your life’s so exciting
C           Em

  So I’ll keep on making bad jokes
Dm

  cause you think I’m strong
F

  & it might be the way you like it
G            C

  Oh how I need you to like me…

  (C Em Dm F G)
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 !!!
Finale : C Am C Am C
