Smile On is an uplifting song about the innocence of youthful smiles, contrasted with the challenge of a parent struggling with an auto-immune disorder, weekly near death experiences, and in an extremely abusive relationship.

Em, G, Em, D, Em
Em, G, Em, D, Em
[Em] There’ll be days that are [G] quiet a mess
[Em] There’ll be days that are [D] long
[Em] There’ll be days filled with [G] emptiness
[Em] There’ll be [D] days which are [G] hard
[C] Smile [D] on my [G] little [Em] friend
[C] Smile [D] on and [G] on
[C] Shine [D] on my [G] little [Em] star
[C] Shine [D] on and [G] on
[Em] There’ll be days where you [G] want to quit
[Em] Cut your losses and [D] run
[Em] But if your path is a [G] noble one
[Em] Stay [D] strong and [G] on
[Em] Stay [D] strong and [G] on
[C] Smile [D] on my [G] little [Em] friend
[C] Smile [D] on and [G] on
[C] Shine [D] on my [G] little [Em] star
[C] Shine [D] on and [G] on
[Em] Don’t you hold on too [G] tight my friend
[Em] Don’t you hold on too [D] strong
[Em] Life is im [G] permanent
[Em] Even [D] for the [G] sun
[Em] Even [D] for the [G] sun
[Em] Even [D] for the [G] sun
