Learning How To Smile
Lyrics By Art Alexakis
Music By Everclear
[G]
Baby go to bed put out the light
We both know if we talk anymore
We're gonna end up in a great big fight
You can have your way again
Yeah you believe what you want to believe
You can walk all over me tomorrow
But tonight can we both pretend to sleep
[Am] [C]
I think we are headed for a big fall
I think we are headed for a bad time
[G]
Gonna go downstairs and sit in that chair you like
[Am] [C]
Gonna put a John Prine record on
I think we need to slow it down for awhile
[G]
Yeah I wish we never bought a king size bed
Yeah the only damn thing that it's ever been good for
Plenty room for the real good sex
Lay in the bed in the dark and all I can see
Yeah is the distance that grows between us
You seem so far from me
[Am] [C]
I think we're headed for a real big fall
Yes we're headed for a bad time
[G]
Yeah gonna go downstairs
Sit by myself all alone in the middle of the night
[Am] [C]
Gonna put a John Prine record on
Guess we need to slow it down for awhile
[G]
I'm going to go downstairs, smoke cigarettes in a thrift store chair you like
[Am] [C]
Gonna put a John Prine record on, Yeah we need to slow it down for awhile
[G]
We need to slow it down for awhile
We need to slow it down for awhile
We need to slow it down for awhile
End on a G
