Cheer Up Charlie

Am* F* C* G*

Am*               F*
Cheer up, Charlie
C*                      G*                        Am*    F*
That’s what she used to say when the numbers were low
C*                 G*              Am*
Knocking on my door with a box of Merlot
          F*
Cheer up, Charlie
C*                    G*
I only feel guilty at night
           Am*                     F*
It must be something about how the window shades turn to ghosts
C*                  G*
When I turn out the light

             Am                      F
Well she was poking at the circles underneath my eyes, she said
C                     G                   Am   F        C       G
"This is how somebody tells that somebody tries--too hard"

Am                F
Cheer up, Charlie
C                        G                     Am
That's what she used to say to make fun of my middle name
F                C
Charles is too serious
    G
And Chuck ain't the same
Am                F
Cheer up, Charlie
  C                       G
Oh, it used to make me so mad
      Am                                      F
Now I wish she'd just call me and say it again
     C                             G
Wish she'd just call me and say it again

              Am                      F
Cause she was poking at the circles underneath my eyes, she said
C                     G                   Am   F       C      G
"This is how somebody tells that somebody tries--too hard"
              Am                     F
Well she was poking at the circles underneath my eyes, she said
C                     G                   Am   F       C     G
"This is how somebody tells that somebody tries--too hard"

Am*               F*
Cheer up, Charlie
C*                     G*                        Am*                F*
That's what I say to myself in the mirror in the middle of the night
C*
Yeah, I've been drinking
            G*
But I'm all right
Am*               F*
Cheer up, Charlie
C*                     G*
I know I ruined it and it's not going to change
              Am*                  F*
But you could at least tell me why
          C*                       G*
You could at least, at least tell me why
And she said

Am            F
You know why, you know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to say it
Am            F
You know why, you know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to say it
Am            F
You know why. You know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to say it to me
Am            F
You know why, you know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to say it
Am            F
You know why, you know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to say it
Am            F
You know why. You know why
C                 G
You know why, you just don't want to say it to me
