To Make You Smile

VERSE
G                   Em
I worked for years
C               G
Trying to be
Em                     C
The woman that I know you
F#/D               G
Wanted me to be

VERSE
We were so different
You and I
We didn't always see
Eye to eye

CHORUS
C                       Em            G       F#/D                  Em 
I spent my whole life trying to get the world to laugh
 C                  Em               F#/D                     G 
I'd have given it all up, just to make you smile

VERSE
I owe you much
Never forget
I'll be forever
In your debt

I prayed perhaps
That you were proud
Even though you never
Said it out loud

CHORUS
I spent my whole life trying to get the world to laugh
I'd have given it all up, just to make you smile

MIDDLE
Am                                Em             F               C
There must have been lessons that we had to learn
Am                           G              F        G
But whatever they were I'm not sure yet

Time and perspective will answer them all
But wish I'd known at the outset

VERSE
Wherever you are
I wish you well
  

CHORUS

I spent my whole life trying to get the world to laugh
I'd have given it all up, just to make you smile
