A C#m7

Show some emotion

C#11 D6

Put expression in your eyes

E A

Light up

Adim Dm6/a

If you're feeling happy

A

But if it's bad

E7 Am

Then let those tears roll down

there's short pentatonic, repeating riff in the verses:

B ---------------------3--5-5---------------

G --2-0---0------------4--5-5---------------

D ------2---2-0-----------------------------

A --------------3-0-------------------------

E ------------------------------------------

Am

Some people hurting

Someone choking up inside

Some poor souls dying

Too proud to say

They got no place to lie

And there's people

If they hear a joke

Can't keep the laugh

Out of their eye

A

Show some emotion

C#11 D6

Put expression in your eyes

E A

Light up

Adim Dm6/a

If you're feeling happy

A

But if it's bad

E7 Am

Then let those tears roll down

Some people in love

But all they got's a photography

How can they get it

Too scared

To open their mouth

To ask
