G                Csus4 Dsus4 
I pick up my smile  and put it in my pocket 
G               Csus4 Dsus4 
Hold it for a while   try not to have to drop it 
G                   Csus4  Dsus4 
Men are not to cry       so how am I to stop it 
G             Csus4   Dsus4 
Keep it all inside,  don't show how much she rocked you 
  
D                              Cadd9 
Ooh, can you feel the same 
D                                Cadd9 
Ooh, you gotta love the pain 
D                       Cadd9 
Ooh, it looks like rain (again) 
D                         Cadd9  
Ooh I feel it comin in  The mountains win again 
G                         Cadd9 
The mountains win agian 
 
 
Dreams we dreamed at night were never meant to come to life 
I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand 
This time in my life I was hurt enough to care 
I guess from now on I'll be careful what I share 
 
Chorus 
 
A pocket is no place for a smile anyway 
Someday I will find love again will blow my mind 
Maybe it will be that love that got away from me 
Is there a line to write that would make you cry tonight 
 
Chorus
