Laughing On The Outside

Words & Music by Ben Raleigh & Bernie Wayne
Recorded by Dinah Shore, 1946


    A                  F#m      Bm7             Fdim    E7
The crowd sees me out dancing, carefree and ro - man - cing,

 A7   Em7     A7       D
Happy with my someone new;

Fdim F#m             D        A     C#m7-5      F#7
I'm laughing on the outside, crying   on   the inside

 E7        Cdim    Bm7-5       E7
'Cause I'm still in love with you.


      A               F#m      Bm7          Fdim  E7
They see me night and daytime, having such a gay time,

A7                  Em7 A7    D
They don't know what I  go through;

Fdim F#m             D        A     C#m7-5     F#7
I'm laughing on the outside, crying   on   the inside

Bm7-5               E7   Fdim  A
'Cause I'm still in love with you.



Bridge:

A7 Em7  A7   Em7  Gdim Cdim A7
No one knows it's just  a  pose,

   Gdim    Cdim A7   G/B    A7
Pretending I'm glad we're apart,

     B7 F#m B7 Fdim Cdim F#m B7
And when I cry, my  eyes are dry -- 

    Cdim      F#m Bm7-5  E7
The tears are in   my  heart!


   A                  F#m      Bm7           Fdim    E7
My darling, can't we make up? Ever since our break - up

A7              Em7 A7   D
Make believe is all  I  do;

Fdim F#m             D        A     C#m7-5     F#7
I'm laughing on the outside, crying   on   the inside

Bm7-5               E7   Fdim  A
'Cause I'm still in love with you.
