  			John Waite - When I See You Smile 
   
  
Intro: G              C    G  C  G 
       Na na na na na na 
  
                                C 
Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through 
                           Am 
Through this world without having you 
                D            G 
I just wouldn't have a clue 
  
  
                                         C 
'Cause sometimes it seems like this world is closing in on me 
                  Am 
There's no way of breaking free 
                   D             C 
And then I see you reach for me 
  
  
            G                      Am        C 
Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in 
               G                      D 
But after everything is said and done 
                              G 
You're my reason for living
