  			  F        Em         Am    G 
Behind the smile that I portray 
F    Em       Am    G 
I am saddened every day 
   F        Em 
My eyes are sore 
     Am             G 
With endless nights of crying 
  F         Em             Am   G 
I hope that you don't feel this way 


C          Em 
  My heart fills with tears 
  F              C 
  When you pass me by 
C           Em            F   G 
  You won't look me in the eye 
C           Em         F             C 
  Don't you think that it's a crying shame 
C         Em              F     G 
  We must play these silly games 
     Am          Am7 
  The pain in my heart 
       Am           Am7 
  That shows we're apart 
     Am           Am7     G 
  Is growing stronger day by day 


  F        Em         Am   G 
Behind the smile that I portray 
F    Em            Am   G 
I am saddened every day 
   F        Em 
My eyes are sore 
     Am               G 
With endless nights of crying 
 F          Em                Am   G 
I hope that you don't feel this way 


C        Em         F              C 
  If you think that I have done you wrong 
C        Em                 F     G 
  I won't try to change your mind 
C           Em 
  But try to think of 
     F               C 
  The love that we once had 
C           Em                  F   G 
  And maybe things won't seem so bad 
      Am               Am7 
  The memories of those times 
     Am          Am7 
  Are vivid in my mind 
     Am                    Am7       G 
  And yet they slip away as time goes on 


Dm      C      Am     G 
Take me back tonight 
Dm      C        Am     G 
Hold me close and tight 
  Dm      C       Am 
Forever I will be true 
            Bb 
I love only you 


  F        Em          Am    G 
Behind the smiles that we portray 
F        Em      Am     G 
There is nothing hidden away 
    F        Em     Am          G 
Our eyes are sore because we are crying 
  F         Em      F    Em   Am 
I hope we'll always feel this way
