 A           C#m7
Show some emotion
 C#11                           D6
Put expression in your eyes
 E      A
Light up
            Adim    Dm6/a
If you're feeling happy
 A
But if it's bad
               E7              Am
Then let those tears roll down

there's short pentatonic, repeating riff in the verses:

e ---------------------3--5-5---------------
B ---------------------3--5-5---------------
G --2-0---0------------4--5-5---------------
D ------2---2-0-----------------------------
A --------------3-0-------------------------
E ------------------------------------------


Am
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
Show some emotion
 C#11                           D6
Put expression in your eyes
 E      A
Light up
            Adim    Dm6/a
If you're feeling happy
 A
But if it's bad
               E7              Am
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
