[Verse 1]
CG
The autumn of this winter, I've forgotten how to breathe,
CG
made my mind up three times or more, simple life of make-believe.
CG
My head was in the clouds, feet nailed to the floor,
CG
my right hand held the hammer, left knows what my right hand's for.
[Bridge]
FG
But I'm still waiting,
FG
it seems to me I spend my whole life anticipating.
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
EmCGG
But when I laugh, when I smile, I could leap tall buildings, run a mile,
EmCGG
I laugh and then I smile.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
CG
I have a house and children, I have everything I need,
CG
voice concern but I don't complain, remember I've four mouths to feed.
[Bridge]
FG
But I'm, I'm still waiting
FG
and it seems to me that I've spent my whole life anticipating.
[End-Chorus]
EmCGG
When I laugh, when I smile, I could leap tall buildings, run a mile,
EmCGG
I laugh and then I smile.
EmCGG
So, when I laugh and smile, I could leap tall buildings, run a mile,
EmCGG
I laugh and then I smile, I do.
