Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Competition Smile” dari Gin Blossoms.
[Verse]
G Dadd4/F#
Looking up I saw nothing
Em7 Cadd9
But blue in the bluest sky
G Dadd4/F#
And now it's creeping across my eye
Em7 Cadd9
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
G Dadd4/F#
I'm high and I'm hopeless,
Em7 Cadd9
so help me to get untied
G Dadd4/F#
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Em7 Cadd9 (D)
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind, just fine
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Am Asus2 Am
Emulate the style
Asus4 C Cmaj7 C C*
A competition smile
[Verse]
G Dadd4/F#
Now I'm running, not looking
Em7 Cadd9
And opening up my brain
G Dadd4/F#
Where it's easy to lose my name
Em7 Cadd9
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
G Dadd4/F#
I'm hoping you'll notice
Em7 Cadd9
That no one else helps me grow
G Dadd4/F#
Oh, it's not easy to let you know
Em7 Cadd9 (D)
What I'm dying to show, dying until you know
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Am Asus2 Am
Pretending all the while
Asus4 C Cmaj7 C C*
A competition smile
[Bridge]
D Dsus4 Cadd9
Now I've thrown something far
Em Dadd4/F# C
And it haunts me like a curse
D Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm like a stone Falling hard
Em Dadd4/F# C G Dadd4/F#
And I'm only getting worse
[Solo]
G Dadd4/F# Em G Dadd4/F#
G Asus4 Em Bm7 Cmaj7*
[Verse]
G Dadd4/F#
Looking up I saw nothing
Em7 Cadd9
But blue in the bluest sky
G Dadd4/F#
And now it's creeping across my eye
Em7 Cadd9
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
G Dadd4/F#
I'm high and I'm hopeless
Em7 Cadd9
So help me to get untied
G Dadd4/F#
Fast asleep, now I'm going blind
Em7 Cadd9 (D)
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind, just fine
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Am Asus2 Am
Pretending all the while
Am7 C Cmaj7 C C*
A competition smile
[Outro]
G Dadd4/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'm hiding high...
G Dadd4/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'm hiding high................
