COMPETITION SMILE Gin Blossums (off the album "Congratulations, I'm Sorry")
GD Looking up I saw nothing EmC But blue in the bluest sky GBm And now it's creeping across my eye EmC Going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless So help me to get untied Fast asleep now I'm going blind Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
D Just fine Bm Emulate the style C A competition smile
Now I'm running, not looking And opening up my brain Where it's easy to lose my name Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain I'm hoping you'll notice That no one else helps me grow Oh, it's not easy to let you know What I'm dying to show Dying until you know Pretending all the while A competition smile
DC Now I've thrown something far BmC And it haunts me like a curse DC I'm like a stone Falling hard BmC And I'm only getting worse
Looking up I saw nothing But blue in the bluest sky And now it's creeping across my eye And going down in my mind, down in my mind I'm high and I'm hopeless So help me to get untied Fast asleep now I'm going blind Falling down in my mind, down in my mind Just fine Pretending all the while A competition smile I'm hiding high...
