Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C]I dedicate this son[Dm]g to recession
[C]Depression and unemployment
[Am]This song's for you

[Verse 1]
Today's a new [C]day, but there is no [D]sunshine
Nothing but [F]clouds, and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a [Bb]cold night
Today's a new [C]day,
but where are my [D]blue skies
Where is the [F]love and the joy that
You promised me
Tell me it's [Bb]alright
(I'll be honest with you)

[Pre-chorus 1]
I [F]almost gave up, but a power
that [E]I can't explain
[Am]Fell from heaven like a shower, [G]now
(When I think how much better
I'm gonna be when this is over)

[Chorus 1]
I [C]smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I [F]smile
Even though I've been here for a [Bb]while
I smile, [C]smile
It's so hard to look up
when you've been down
Sure would hate to see you give up [F]now
You look so much better
[Bb]when you smile, so [C]smile[Dm]

[Verse 2]
Today's a new [C]day, but there is no [D]sunshine
Nothing but [F]clouds, and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a [Bb]cold night
Today's a new [C]day,
but where are my [D]blue skies
(Where is that love, y'all)
Where is the [F]love and the joy that
You promised me
Tell me it's [Bb]alright
(The truth is)

[Pre-chorus 2]
I [F]almost gave up, but a power
that [E]I can't explain
(Holy Ghost power y'all)
[Am]Fell from heaven like a shower, [G]now
(Now I ain't even hurt y'all but still)

[Chorus 2]
I [C]smile, (c-mon,)
even though I hurt see I smile
(I feel that)
I know God is working so I [F]smile
Even though I've been here for a [Bb]while (still)
I smile, (hallelujah) [C]smile
It's so hard to look up
when you've been down
Sure would hate to see you give up [F]now
(cursed people)
You look so much better [Bb]when you smile

[Bridge 1]
[F]Smile for [Am]me
Can you just [F]smile for [Am]me
(Whatever you're in right now)
[F]Smile for [Am]me (smile)
Can you just [F]smile for [Am]me
(And my people say)
Oh oh [F]oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh [Em]oh you look so[G] much better when you
Oh oh [F]oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh [Em]oh you look so[G] much better when you
(And [F]while you're waiting)
you look so much better when you
(And [Em]while you're praying)
you look [G]so much better when you
(Look [F]in the mirror)
you look so much better when you
(al[Em]ways remember)
You look [G]so much better when you smile

Rhight now
[Ab](Tears, storms, this is what I do)
