Intro:
 | A      | A      | A      | A      | A      | 



Verse 1: 
    A                        A 
He stands there like demon a guitar for a pitch fork 
   A                     E               A 
A stare that looks right through to your soul 
   A                                      A 
He knows they've come to see him and they know wonder why 
   A                        E                 A 
He can't stand still and he look so tired and old 

 
       D 
Sing a song, try not to think 
A 
Act like it don't hurt 
A                            E 
Sing a song to cover up your cry 
         D 
Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance 
A 
You know that you'll make it 
    A                   E                A 
But they don't know how hard you have to try

Instrumental: | A      | A      | A      | A      | 


Verse 2: 
        A                                 A 
With a smile that charms the women and a snare that makes men nervous 
   A               E               A 
He sings a song of lovin' fightin' man 
         A                             A 
The band wonders how he's done it from what the world did to him 
    A            E                A 
And why it never happen like they plan 


 
       D 
Sing a song, try not to think 
A 
Act like it don't hurt 
A                            E 
Sing a song to cover up your cry 
         D 
Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance 
A 
You know that you'll make it 
    A                   E                A 
But they don't know how hard you have to try

Verse 3:
   A                               A 
He pours out songs like water with each one he seem stronger 
     A                 E             A 
From somewhere comes a new found energy 
   A                                A 
He gives them half his heart and a slow song love ballad 
      A               E            A 
And I feel a kindred spirit within me 


 
       D 
Sing a song, try not to think 
A 
Act like it don't hurt 
A                            E 
Sing a song to cover up your cry 
         D 
Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance 
A 
You know that you'll make it 
    A                   E                A 
But they don't know how hard you have to try 
         D 
Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance 
A 
You know that you'll make it 
    A                   A                A 
But they don't know how hard you have to try 
     A                   E                A 
It's over now and you've more than gotten by
