Verse 1:
Dm                 C
I'm smiling in the afternoon

I've got a lot to do

And it's a beautiful day
Dm               C                  Bb
Walking with the confidence and the common sense

Verse 2:
Dm             C

From the saddest taste
              F
And you're my favorite flavor
Dm              C
A little cherry lemonade
      Dm               F
And a tiny hint that I couldn't savor

Everything  you ran away from is still here
Bb          F         Dm C
Laughing at me making faces

I can picture the look on your face
                Dm                 C
And I'm glad I don't have to see it

'Cause seeing it wouldn't make me happy anyway
