Intro: Gb  Abm  Ebm

Gb             Abm7    Ebm
Save some face, you know you've only got one
Gb               Abm7            Ebm
Change your ways while you're young
Gb  Abm             Ebm
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Gb      Abm7              Ebm
Oh girl, he'll help you understand


Gb               B        Gb     Db  
Smile like you mean it
Gb               B        Gb     Db  
Smile like you mean it


Gb           Abm7   Ebm
Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
Gb            Abm7         Ebm
We lost track of the time
Gb     Abm                 Ebm
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Gb          Abm           Ebm
Some things sat by so carelessly


Gb               B        Gb    Db  
Smile like you mean it
Gb               B        Gb    Db  
Smile like you mean it

Solo: Db  Ebm  B

    Abm
And someone is calling my name
            Ebm
From the back of the restaurant
     Abm
And someone is playing a game
            Ebm
In the house that I grew up in
      Abm
And someone will drive her around
             Bbm
Down the same streets that I did
           B                   Db
On the same streets that I did


Gb               B        Gb    Db  
Smile like you mean it
Gb               B        Gb    Db  
Smile like you mean it
Gb               B        Gb    Db  
Smile like you mean it
Gb               B        Gb    Db  
Smile like you mean it

Outro: Gb  Abm  Ebm
Oh No no

I strongly suggest +3 with the strumming pattern DDUUDU. But only one down strum for the parts where it is like “my fi-re” or “Heart-ache”. I hope that makes sense. If you try and play it though, hopefully you will understand.
