Show some emotion
C#11C#11 D6D6
Put expression in your eyes
E MajorE A augmentedA
Light up
AdimAdim Dm6/a
If you're feeling happy
A augmentedA
But if it's bad
E7E7 A minorAm
Then let those tears roll down
there's short pentatonic, repeating riff in the verses:
e ---------------------3--5-5---------------
BB ---------------------3--5-5---------------
G+G --2-0---0------------4--5-5---------------
D MajorD ------2---2-0-----------------------------
A augmentedA --------------3-0-------------------------
E MajorE ------------------------------------------
A minorAm
Some people hurting
Someone choking up inside
Some poor souls dying
Too proud to say
They got no place to lie
And there's people
If they hear a joke
Can't keep the laugh
Out of their eye
A augmentedA
Show some emotion
C#11C#11 D6D6
Put expression in your eyes
E MajorE A augmentedA
Light up
AdimAdim Dm6/a
If you're feeling happy
A augmentedA
But if it's bad
E7E7 A minorAm
Then let those tears roll down
Some people in love
But all they got's a photography
How can they get it
Too scared
To open their mouth
To ask
