Just to see you smile (1997)    (video)

 

    D - A - Bm      - G - Em - A

 

             D

1. You always had an eye for things that glitter,

        Bm

    but I was far from being made of gold,

         G

    I don't know how, but I scraped up the money,

   Em                                               A

    I just never could quite tell you ‘no’.

            D

    Just like when you were leaving Amarillo,

     Bm

    takin' that new job in Tennessee,

          G

    and I quit mine, so we could be together,

       Em                                                  A

    I can't forget the way you looked at me.

 

   D        A            Bm                   G                   Em            A

Just to see you smile I'd do anything that you wanted me to.

           D       A            Bm                                   G

When all is said and done I'd never count the cost,

                              Em  - E - G   A                        D

it's worth all that's lost,              just to see you smile.

 

+  D - A - Bm       - G - Em - A

 

                 D

2. When you said time was all you really needed,

        Bm

    I walked away and let you have your space,

           G

    our leaving didn't hurt me near as badly

                Em                                          A

    as the tears I saw rolling down your face.

              D

    And yesterday I knew just what you wanted,

              Bm

    when you came walking up to me with him,

        G

    so I told you that I was happy for you,

            Em                                    A

    and given the chance I'd lie again.

 

   D        A            Bm                   G                   Em            A

Just to see you smile I'd do anything that you wanted me to.

           D       A            Bm                                   G

When all is said and done I'd never count the cost,

                              Em  - E - G   A                         D

it's worth all that's lost,              just to see you smile.

 

+  repeat CHORUS

 

 

+  D - A - Bm    - G - Em - A (2x) ....
