Put On A Smile

• Intro

Intro
G#m
Oh, lookie here fellas

Take it from your Uncle Bootsy

Ain't no shame beggin' in the rain

Tell her how you really feel
C#m B/C#
Ooh, ooh-ooh
G#m7             A
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh


Verse 1
C#m                                  B/C#
I could pretend when I'm out with my friends
                            G#m7
I ain't thinkin' about you

I could pretend like I ain't in my feelings
               A            C#m
But that ain't true, nah (Nah)
                               B/C#
When I called you out your name
                                   G#m7
That was my ego, my pride, and pain

I should be a movie star
                             A
The way I play the part like everything's okay


Pre-Chorus
   F#m7
Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
 G#m7
All night, buying shots for everybody
         Amaj7/B
But it's all just an act (Yeah) 'cause I can't have you back (Yeah)
   B13b9
Without you, I've been goin' crazy


Chorus
      EMaj7               F#m7 G#m7 Amaj7
Tryna put on a smile (Put on   a    smile)
      G#m7
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
    Amaj7/B         B13b9
But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'
      EMaj7               F#m7 G#m7 Amaj7
Tryna put on a smile (Put on   a    smile)
              G#m7
Ooh, I'm just smilin' like a fool
         Amaj9/B
When the only thing worth smilin' for
                                 N.C.
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was
C#m     B/C#
You, you, you

You, you, you, you, you
G#sus4 G#
You

If I could turn back the hands on my Rollie, you know I would
                                                      Amaj7
I would've spent all my time makin' sure that my baby good
C#m                            B/C#
I'm tryin' hard to hide the shame
                                  G#m7
I know I'm playin' a dangerous game

But since you been gone, I ain't been the same
             Amaj7
There's only so much a man can fake


Pre-Chorus
   F#m7
Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
 G#m7
All night, buying shots for everybody
         Amaj7/B
But it's all just an act (Yeah) 'cause I can't have you back (Yeah)
   B13b9
Without you, I've been goin' crazy

Tryna put on a smile (Put on   a    smile)

Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
    Amaj7/B         B13b9
But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'
      EMaj7               F#m7 G#m7 Amaj7
Tryna put on a smile (Put on   a    smile)
              G#m7
