Chords for Kirk Franklin - I Smile (Official Video)

_ _ [C#] Take [D#m] this song to recession, depression, [C#] and [F#] unemployment.
This [C#] song's for you.
Today's a new day, _ but there is [D#] no sunshine.
Nothing [F#] but clouds and [A#m] it's dark in my heart and it feels like [F#m] a cold night.
[C#] Today's a new day, but where are [D#] my blue skies?.
Where is [F#] the love and [A#m] the joy that you promised me?.
Tell me [F#m] it's alright.
I'll be honest with you.
[F#] I almost gave [D#m] up a power [Cm] that I [C#] can't explain.
[D#m] Fell [C#] from [G#] heaven like [C#] a showerhouse.
When I think I'm looking better, I'm going to be when this is over.
I smile, even though I hurt.
See, I [F] smile.
I know God is working, [F#] so I [A#m] smile.
Even though I've been [D#] here for a while, I [C#] smile.
Smile.
[A#m] It's so [C#] hard to look up when you've been [A#m] down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now.
You look so much [F#m] better when you smile.
So [F#] smile.
[C#] Now, every [F#] day ain't going to be perfect, [C#] but it's still going to mean today don't have purpose.
Today's a new day, _ but there [G] is no [D#] sunshine.
Nothing [F#] but clouds and it's dark in my heart and it feels [F#m] like a cold night.
[C#] It ain't easy, but today's a new day.
Tell me where [G] are my blue [D#] skies?.
Where is that love y'all?.
Where [F#] is the love [A#m] and the joy that you promised me?.
Tell [F#m] me it's alright.
[A#m] The truth is I almost gave up on a [D#m] power that I can't [F] explain.
That Holy Ghost [Fm] power y'all [C#] fell from [G#] heaven [C#] like a [D#m] shower down.
Now, no one's [C#] hurt y'all, but still I smile.
Come on, [G#m] even though I hurt.
See, I [A#] smile.
Y'all feel that?.
I [F] know God is [F#] working, so I smile.
