Where do we go? Nobody knows
I've gotta say I'm on my way down
God give me style and give me grace
God put a smile upon my face
[Verse 2]
Where do we go to draw the line?
I've gotta say I wasted all your time, oh, honey, honey
Where do I go to fall from grace?
God put a smile upon your face, yeah
[Chorus]
And ah, when you work it out, I'm worse than you
Yeah, when you work it out, I wanted to
And ah, when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
[Verse 3]
Where do we go? Nobody knows
Don't ever say you're on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face, ah yeah
[Chorus]
And ah, when you work it out, I'm worse than you
Yeah, when you work it out, I wanted to
And ah, when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
It's as good as mine
It's as good as mine
It's as good as mine
Na, na-na, na-na, num-ma-na, na-na
As good as mine
As good as mine (As good as mine)
As good as mine (As good as mine)
As good as mine (As good as mine)
[Outro]
Where do we go? Nobody knows
Don't ever say you're on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face
About
“God Put A Smile Upon Your Face” is the third song off of Coldplay’s second studio album, A Rush Of Blood To The Head.
The song’s meaning is that one should appreciate what they have because life is short and nobody knows what actually happens after death.
Despite Coldplay’s massive popularity at the time in the UK, the single only peaked at 100th––only promo copies were released. However, it was a top 40 hit in The Netherlands and New Zealand, and hit number three in Poland.

According to Songfacts, Chris Martin said on the band’s website:
