verse 1
F
She's working late and making eyes at the dough, She's sick of everybody up on her floor,
Dm C F
She wants the sun in her eyes, but all she gets is ignored
F
She used to put it out and get it all back, But now she's sipping trying to carry the act,
Dm C F
She's sweating under the lights, now she's beginning to pack
F
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile, Don't have to stand there and burn inside
Dm C F
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
F
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend Nobody needs a best fake friend
Dm C F
Oh oh oh, don't hide it
verse 1
F
No hesitation now, she gets up and walks, She thinks of all the pain and pride did it cost
Dm C F
She empties all the tip jars, and won't get back what she lost
F
Outside the window we're two fingers to show She lifts her head I'm like some blur out of smoke
D C F
She doesn't have to look back to know where she's gotta go
F
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile, Don't have to stand there and burn inside
Dm C F
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
F
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend, Nobody needs a best fake friend
Dm C F
Oh oh oh, don't hide it

No you don't have to wear your best fake smile, Don't have to stand there and burn inside
