Lyrics
Grin and Bear It 110bpm Intro: A7Am7F9-maj7 F9-maj7 DmC6GFF9F DmC6GFF9F A7Am7F9-maj7 F9-maj7 A7Am7Bb Bb6 Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 Bbmaj7 I like to travel to unusual places And see the people with their funny faces But they keep looking at me Do they think I'm odd or wealthy Whatever they all want to take a selfie I'm just a monkey up a tree And if they're feeling just a little bolder They'll drape an arm cross my shoulder I guess they want to share it Sometimes you've got to grin and bear it GmDmCFm7 GAmGGGrunG7 You know I never wished for fame Your life would never be the same It's the price I sometimes pay to roam But when I've had enough I can head back home Double intro as instrumental Sitting by a temple somewhere cool and shady Someone comes up and says hold my baby And meet my family I guess I know where this is heading We're all arranged like for a family wedding There's no escape i can see We're shaking hands like we've been friends forever I need to move I think its now or never That's just how it is I swear i You've got to grin and bear it 2nd half as verse instrumental to Sometimes you've got to grin and bear it Hold and resolve to Dm
