Cheer Up Charlie

Am* F* C* G*

[Verse 1]
Am*               F*
Cheer up, Charlie
C*                      G*       
That’s what she used to say when 
                 Am*    F*
the numbers were low
C*                 G*             
Knocking on my door with a box of 
 Am*
Merlot

          F*
Cheer up, Charlie
C*                    G*
I only feel guilty at night
           Am*                     
It must be something about how the 
F*
window shades turn to ghosts
C*                  G*
When I turn out the light

[Chorus]
             Am                    
Well she was poking at the circles 
  F
underneath my eyes, she said
C                     G          
"This is how somebody tells that 
         Am   F        C       G
somebody tries--too hard"

[Verse 2]
Am                F
Cheer up, Charlie
C                        G       
That's what she used to say to 
              Am
make fun of my middle name
F                C
Charles is too serious
    G
And Chuck ain't the same

Am                F
Cheer up, Charlie
  C                       G
Oh, it used to make me so mad
      Am                         
Now I wish she'd just call me and 
             F
say it again
     C                             
Wish she'd just call me and say it 
G
again

[Chorus]
              Am                   
Cause she was poking at the circles
   F
 underneath my eyes, she said
C                     G          
"This is how somebody tells that 
         Am   F       C      G
somebody tries--too hard"
              Am                   
Well she was poking at the circles 
  F
underneath my eyes, she said
C                     G          
"This is how somebody tells that 
         Am   F       C     G
somebody tries--too hard"

[Break]
Am F C G (x2)

[Verse 3]
Am*               F*
Cheer up, Charlie
C*                     G*        
That's what I say to myself in 
                Am*            
the mirror in the middle of the 
    F*
night
C*
Yeah, I've been drinking
            G*
But I'm all right

Am*               F*
Cheer up, Charlie
C*                     G*
I know I ruined it and it's not 
going to change
              Am*                  
But you could at least tell me why
F*

          C*                       
You could at least, at least tell 
G*
me why

And she said

[Chorus 2]
Am            F
You know why, you know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to
 say it
Am            F
You know why, you know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to
 say it
Am            F
You know why. You know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to
 say it to me

Am            F
You know why, you know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to
 say it
Am            F
You know why, you know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to
 say it
Am            F
You know why. You know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to
 say it to me
