[F#] I'm gonna sing a song.
don't have to [C#m] wear your best fake [F#] smile, don't have to stand [C#m] there, [F#] burned [D#m] inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, if you [F#] don't like it.
She's working late and making nights at the door.
She's sick of everybody up on her floor.
She wants [C#] the sun in her eyes, but all she gets is ignored.
She used to put it out and get it all back.
But now she's slipping, trying to carry the act.

No you don't have to [C#m] wear your best fake [F#] smile, don't have to stand [C#m] there, [F#] burned [D#m] inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, if you [F#] don't like it. _ _ _ _ _
She's working late and making nights at the door. _
She's sick of everybody up on her floor. _
She wants [C#] the sun in her eyes, but all she gets is ignored.
[D#] _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
She used to put it out and get it all back.
But now she's slipping, trying to carry the act.
She's sweating under [C#] the lights, now she's beginning [F#] to cry.
_ Oh, [G#] _ [F#] no you don't have to wear your best fake smile, don't have to stand there, _ burned [D#] inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, if you [F#] don't like it.
_ _ _ And you don't have to care, so don't pretend _ nobody needs the best fake [D#m] friend.
Oh, [C#] oh, _ oh, [F#] don't hide it. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[G#] No hesitation, now she gets up and [F#] walks.
She thinks you're all in pain [G#] and pride to the core.
[D#m] _
[C#] She empties all the tip jars and won't [F#] get back, but she lost.
[G#] Outside _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ the window with two fingers to shoot. _
She lifts her head up just to blow out the smoke. _
She doesn't have [C#] to look back to know where [F#] she's gotta go.
_ _ _ _ _ No, you don't have to wear your best fake smile, don't have to stand there, burned _ inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, if you [F#] don't like it.
_ _ _ And you don't have to care, so don't pretend _ nobody needs the best fake [D#m] friend.
Oh, [C#] oh, _ oh, [F#] don't hide it.
_ _ If you [B] don't need _ it, _ _ you [D#m] don't need it [C#] anymore.
If you [B] don't _ need it, get up and [D#m] leave it all alone.
No [B] more _ believing _ _ like [D#m] it's a voice you can't ignore.
If you [B] don't _ need it, _ _ you don't need it at all.
_ [F#] And you don't have to [G#] wear your best fake smile, don't have to stand there, burned _ [D#m] inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, no, if you [F#] don't like it.
_ _ _ And you don't have to care, so don't pretend nobody needs the best fake [D#m] friend.
Oh, [C#] oh, _ _ [F#] oh, don't hide it.
