Thank you Felix for your kind words, and requesting chords to this wonderful song. Awhile back I had posted the chords in an easy key, How-to-play-i-smile. I absolutely LOVE Kirk Franklin and have read his book and reviewed Blueprint. Hope this is what you're looking for. Have a blessed day!

Buildup: Ab7sus

              DbM7
Today's a new day
                Eb7
but there is no sunshine,
             GbM7
Nothing but clouds
and it's dark in my heart
                    B7
And it feels like a cold night.
              DbM7
Today's a new day,
                     Eb7
tell me where are my blue skies?
               GbM7
Where is that love
and the joy that you promised me?
            B7
Tell me it's all right?

Pre-Chorus:
   GbM7                         Eb7
I almost gave up at a power that I can't explain!
B7                                   Ab7sus
Fell from Heaven, like a shower now.

Chorus:
  DbM7                            Db7
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
                           GbM7
I know God is working so I smile,
                                 B7
Even though I've been here for a while
         DbM7
I smile, smile!
                                         Db7
It's so hard to look up when you've been down,
                                   GbM7
Sure would hate to see you give up now,
                                  B7
You look so much better when you smile!

Coda:
GbM7      Fm
Smile for me!
             GbM7      DbM7
Can you just smile for me!
GbM7      Fm
Smile for me!
             GbM7      DbM7
Can you just smile for me!
And my people say
        GbM7

                                         Fm
You look so much better when you oh, oh, oh!
                                        GbM7
You look so much better when you oh, oh, oh!
                                         Fm
You look so much better when you oh, oh, oh
                                      (GbM7)  
You look so much better when you smile!
