A# F
Swore I was gonna tell 'em the truth
Dm C A# F
That was til everybody started asking 'bout you

And I didn?t know what to say

Came up with some lame excuse

Why you were gone
Dm C
Said you were gonna come later on

Planted a smile on my face

I was hanging around, rocking the crowd
Dm C
Everybody singing along to my songs
A# F
Taking my shots, throwing them back
Dm C
Acting like you ain?t gone
A# F
But I don?t want em to know I?m all alone
Dm C
And I ain?t got nobody

I don?t want em to see I'm dying inside
Dm C
So I guess I?ll be the life
