C Dm G6

[verse]
C
Smile, though your heart is aching
Cmaj7
Smile, even though it's breaking
Em             Ebdim         Dm 
When there are clouds in the sky
            A7
You'll get by...
       Dm
If you smile
                          Bb7
With your fear and sorrow
                         C
Smile and maybe tomorrow
               Am               Dm          G6
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

[verse]
C
Light up your face with gladness
Cmaj7
Hide every trace of sadness
Em         Ebdim       Dm      A7
Although a tear may be ever so near
           Dm                                         
That's the time you must keep on trying
Bb7                             C
Smile, what's the use of crying
                 Am                  Dm
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
   G6
If you just...

Bb7                             C
Smile, what's the use of crying
                 Am                  Dm
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
   G6       C
If you just smile
