James Bay - Best Fake Smile (Live On Austin City Limits) chords
Start Jamming...
[F#]
I got to see some hands.
I got to hear some hands.
I got to feel some hands.
[D#m]
I got to see them.
I got to hear them.
Now you don't have to wear your best fake smile.
Don't have to stand there [D#] and burn inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, [A#] oh, if [F#] you're doing it like you know.
[A#] She's working late and making [F#] eyes at the gun.
She's sick of everybody up on her [D#m] floor.
[C#] She wants the sun in her eyes, [F#] but all she gets is glory.
She used to put it out and give it all away.
But now she's slipping, trying to carry [D#] the axe.
She's [C#] sweating under the lines.
Now [F#] she's beginning to cry.
And you don't have to wear your best fake smile.
Don't have to stand there and burn [D#m] inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, if [F#] you're doing it like you know.
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend.
Nobody needs a best [D#m] fake friend.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, [F#] don't you hide it all.
No hesitation, now she gets up and walks.
She thinks of all the pain and pride [D#m] that it costs.
She empties [C#] all the tip [F#] flowers.
They don't give back to yours.
I'll find her in the ritz and fingers.
She lifts her head up just to blow [D#] out the smoke.
[C#] She doesn't have to look back to [F#] know where she's at all.
[D#] [F#] And you don't have to wear your best fake smile.
Don't have to stand there and burn [D#m] inside.
Oh, [C#]
oh, oh, [F#] if you're doing it like you
[G#m] [F#] know.
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend.
Nobody needs a best fake [D#m] friend.
Oh, [C#]
oh, oh, [F#] don't you hide it.
[G#] If you [B] don't believe it, you [D#m] don't need it [C#]
anymore.
If you [B] don't need it, you don't [D#m] believe it.
[C#]
So don't [B] believe it.
I [D#m] guess you push, you [C#]
can't ignore.
If you [B] don't believe it, now you don't need to know.
[F#] And you don't have to wear your best fake smile.
Don't have to [G#] stand there and burn [D#m] inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, [F#] if you're doing it like you know.
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend.
Nobody needs a best fake [D#m] friend.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, don't you hide it.
[F#]
If you don't have to wear your best fake smile.
Don't have to [D#m] stand there and burn inside.
Oh, [C#] oh, oh, if [F#] you don't hide it.
[D#m] Oh, [C#] oh, oh, don't you hide it.
[F#] [B] [G#m]
