Lyrics

You’re bet ter than the (F#m7)best.

I’m luck y just to lin ger in your life.

Cool er than the (F#m7)flip side of my (Amaj7)pil low, that’s right.

Com plete ly un a (F#m7)ware,

noth ing can com pare to where you send me.

Lets me know that it’s o kay.

Yeah, it’s o kay in the (B)mo ments when my good times start to fade.

You make (CN.C.)me smile like the sun, fall out of bed, sing like a bird, diz zy in my head.

Spin like a rec ord, cra zy on a Sun day night.

You make me dance like a fool, for get how to breathe, shine like gold, buzz like a bee.

(E)Just the thought of you can drive me (Amaj9)wild.

Oh, you make me (E)smile.

E ven when you’re (F#m7)gone,

some how you come a long just like a flow er pok ing through the side walk (F#m7)crack.

And just like that you (B)steal a way the rain.

And just like that

Don’t know how I (C#m)lived with out you; ’cause ev ’ry time that I get a round you, I see the best of me in side your eyes.

You make me (E)smile.

You make me dance like a fool, for get how to breathe, shine like gold, buzz like a bee.

(E)Just the thought of you can drive me (E)wild.

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed, sing like a bird, diz zy in my head.

Spin like a rec ord, cra zy on a Sun day night.

You make me dance like a fool, for get how to breathe, shine like gold, buzz like a bee.

(E)Just the thought of you can drive me (Amaj9)wild.

Oh, you make me (E)smile.

Oh, you make me (E)smile.

Oh, you make me smile.
