Richard Shindell   Smiling  written by Richard Shindell

FF    Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
I had a place in the desert
FF   Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
Just a roof and four walls
FF       Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Where I could wait for the rapture
FF       Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Where I could ride out the fall
FF   Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
I was keeping a virgil
FF   Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
I was deep in a trance
FF   Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
I was holding a candle
FF   Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
To the palm of my hand
        Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF        Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF
Then I saw you smiling then I saw you smiling
        Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF         G minorGm Gm9Gm9 G minorGm C minorCm
Then I saw you smiling
FF   Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Like a fool I protested
FF    Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
I need time to prepare
FF     Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
You see I never expected
FF      Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Something so simple and clear
FF  Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
So I tried to persude you
FF     Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
That I was not what you thought
FF           Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
That I would only disappoint you
FF      Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
That I can't be what I'm not
        Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF
You stood there smiling
         Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF
You stood there smiling
        Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF G minorGm Gm9Gm9 G minorGm C minorCm
You stood there smiling
FF     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
I looked around for a reference
FF       Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
But there was none I could see
FF     Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Is there a thread to the sequence
FF         Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
That brought this vision to me
FF     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
There are larks in the morning
FF    Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Tracing lines to the lake
FF   Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Three dimensions of mercy
FF   Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Three dimensions of grace
           Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF
You just stand there smiling
           Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF
You just stand there smiling
           Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb FF
You just stand there smiling
