Verse 1:

C D7/C
Can I cry a little bit

There's nobody to notice it
Gm7 D G C Bm7 E7
Can't I cry if I want to no one cares

Am7 Em7
Why can't I pretend
Am7 Em7
That you love me again
Am7 Bm7 C D
All I've had has been taken from me
Am7 Bm7 C D
Now I'm cryin' and tears don't become me

Chorus:

E A/E B7/E E
Just one smile, the pain's forgiven
E A/E B7/E E
Just one kiss, [2: girl, now] the hurt's all gone

Just one smile to make my life worth living

A little dream to build my world upon

Verse 2:

How I wish I could say
All the things that I want to say
If some way you could see what's in my heart
I don't ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch
Try to forget, well the Lord knows I'm tryin'
But it's so hard to forget, girl, when your whole world is dyin'

[repeat chorus and bass/organ section]
