Yeah, (Bb)it’s o kay in the (C)mo ments when my (Bb)good times start to (Gm7)fade.

You make me (F)smile like the sun, fall out of bed, sing like a bird, diz zy in my head, (F)spin like a rec ord cra zy on a Sun day (Bbmaj7)night.

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

(Gm7)Oh, you make me (F)smile.

Com E ven when you’re (Gm7)gone,
