[Chorus]
F#
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile,
Don't have to stand there and burn inside
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
[Verse 1]
F#
She's working late and making eyes at the dough,
She's sick of everybody up on her floor,
D#m C# F#
She wants the sun in her eyes, but all she gets is ignored
F#
She used to put it out and get it all back,
But now she's sipping tring to carry the act,
D#m C# F#
She's sweating under the lights, now she's beginning to pack
[Chorus]
F#
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile,
Don't have to stand there and burn inside
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
F#
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, don't hide it
[Verse 2]
F#
No hesitation now, she gets up and walks
She thinks of all the pain and pride did it cost
D#m C# F#
She empties all the tip jars, and won't get back what she lost
F#
Outside the window we're two fingers to show
She lifts her head I'm like some blur out of smoke
D#m C# F#
She doesn't have to look back to know where she's gotta go
[Chorus]
F#
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile,
Don't have to stand there and burn inside
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
F#
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, don't hide it
[Bridge]
B D#m C#
If you don't bleed it, you don't need it anymore
B D#m C#
If you don't need it, get up and leave it on the floor
B D#m C#
No more believing like it's a voice you can't ignore
B
If you don't need it, you don't need it no
[Chorus]
F#
And you don't have to wear your best fake smile,
Don't have to stand there and burn inside
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, no if you don't like it
F#
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, don't hide it
F#
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile,
Don't have to stand there and burn inside
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, if you don't like it
D#m C# F#
Oh oh oh, no if you don't like it
