Standard (EADGBE)

 Today's a new day

 but there is no sunshine,

 Nothing but clouds

and it's dark in my heart

 And it feels like a cold night.

 Today's a new day,

 tell me where are my blue skies?

 Where is that love

and the joy that you promised me?

 Tell me it's all right?

Pre-chorus

 I almost gave up at a power that I can't explain!

Fell from Heaven, like a shower now.

Chorus

 I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,

 I know God is working so I smile,

 Even though I've been here for a while

 I smile, smile!

 It's so hard to look up when you've been down,

 Sure would hate to see you give up now,

 You look so much better when you smile!

Coda

Smile for me!

 Can you just smile for me!

Smile for me!

 Can you just smile for me!

And my people say

 oh, oh, oh!

 You look so much better when you oh, oh, oh!

 You look so much better when you oh, oh, oh!

 You look so much better when you oh, oh, oh

 You look so much better when you smile!
