I Smile Chords by Kirk Franklin

_ _ [C#] _ [D#] I dedicate this song to [G#] recession, depression, and unemployment.
_ [D#] I have this song for you.
Today's a [C#] new day, _ but there is [D#] no sunshine.
Nothing [F#] but clouds and [A#m] it's dark in my heart and it feels like [F#m] a cold night.
[C#] Today's a new day, but where are [D#] my blue skies?
Where is [F#] the love and [D#] the joy that you promised me?
Tell me it's alright.
I'll be honest with you.
[F#] I almost gave up a power [A#] that I [A] can't explain.
[A#] Fell [G#] from heaven like a shower [D#] down.
When I think how much better I'm gonna be when this is over.
[C#] I smile, even though I hurt.
See, I [F] smile.
I know God is working, [F#] so I smile.
[A#] Even though I've been [B] here for a [F#] while.
I smile, [C#] smile.
It's over [C#] to love when you've been down.
[F#] Showing hate to see you give up [A#m] now.
You look so much [F#m] better when you smile, [C#] so smile.
[D#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ Today's a new day, _ but there [G] is no [D#] sunshine.
_ [F#] Nothing but clouds and it's dark [D#] in my heart and it feels [B] like a cold night.
_ [C#] Today's a new day, but where [G] are my blue [D#] skies?
Where [F#] is the love and the joy [A#m] that you promised me?
