And Yet I Smile

Dm           Ab                 C
Come inside, let's stay a while
Dm           Ab                 C
As the misty morning kiss the sky
Dm             Ab           C
I have for you a fairy tale
Ab        C
Untold, unspoken

Dm           Ab                 C
Words I said and deeds I've done
Dm                        Ab              C
With foolish pride I have touched the sun
Dm                 Ab           C
Some things I did, I apologize
Ab       C
Ooh, I'm sorry

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                           Ab         C
Not for the things that they made me do
Dm                  Ab         C
Only for the times I failed to see them through
Dm           Ab                  C              Dm
In the end, we only will regret
Ab            C       Ab
The things we did not do
                    C
This message to you

[Verse 2]
Dm                  Ab             C
When life will end, we do not know
Dm               Ab        C
My time is here, I gotta go
Dm               Ab        C
I tread the path of no return
Ab         C
To find my purpose
Dm                   Ab               C
I walk through life, my spirit's high
Dm                        Ab               C
'Cause I am me, that's my battle cry
Dm                        Ab               C
Bruised and scarred, that's who I am
Ab   C
Ooh, I remember

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                        Ab               C
Stars was aligned and the sky adorned
Dm                        Ab               C
Winter came on the night that I was born
Dm           Ab                  C              Dm
And I knew right there at the start
Ab            C       Ab
That this is my life
                    C
I'll stand the test of time

[Chorus]
C              F
My star cannot shine
Am               F       C        Ab
Without darkness around
     F                C
Even though I've been scarred for life
F      Am           F
I must fight to reconcile
C         Ab         C
And yet I smile, I'm alive

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
C              F
My star cannot shine
Am               F       C        Ab
Without darkness around
     F                C
Even though I've been scarred for life
F      Am           F
I must fight to reconcile
C         Ab         C
And yet I smile, I'm alive

[Chorus]
C              F
My star cannot shine
Am               F       C        Ab
Without darkness around
     F                C
Even though I've been scarred for life
F      Am           F
I must fight to reconcile
C         Ab         C
And yet I smile, I'm alive
