Put On A Smile Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
Oh, looky here, fellas
Take it from your Uncle Bootsy
[E]Ain't no shame beggin' in the rain
Tell her how you really feel
[Am]Ooh, ooh, [G]ooh
[Em]Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, [F]mm

[Verse 1]
[Am]I could pretend when I'm out
with my [G]friends I ain't thinkin' about you
[Em]I could pretend like
I ain't in my feelings
But that ain't [F]true, [Am]nah
When I called you out your [G]name
That was my ego, my pride and [Em]pain
I should be a movie star,
the way I play the part
Like [F]everything's okay

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Dm]Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
[Em]All night buyin' shots for everybody
But it's [F]all just an act (yeah)
'Cause I can't have you back (yeah)
With[G]out you, I've been going crazy

[Chorus 1]
Tryna [C]put on a smile
(put [Dm]on a [Em]smil[F]e)
Tryna [Em]fight these tears from cryin'
But [F]Lord knows I'm [G]dyin', dyin'
Tryna [C]put on a smile,
(put [Dm]on a [Em]smil[F]e)
Ooh, out here [Em]smilin' like a fool
(When the [F]only thing worth smilin' for)
Baby girl,
the only thing worth smilin' for [Am]was
You (you)
[G]You
[Dm]You, you, you, you, you
[E]You, ooh

[Verse 2]
[Am]If I could turn back the hands
on my [G]Rollie, you know I would
[Em]I would've spent all my time
makin' sure that my baby [F]good
[Am]I'm tryin' hard to hide the [G]shame
I know I'm playin' a dangerous [Em]game
But since you've been gone,
I ain't been the same
There's only [F]so much a man can fake

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Dm]Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
[Em]All night buyin' shots for everybody
But it's [F]all just an act (yeah)
'Cause I can't have you back (yeah)
With[G]out you, I've been going crazy

[Chorus 2]
Tryna [C]put on a smile
(put [Dm]on a [Em]smil[F]e)
Tryna [Em]fight these tears from cryin'
But [F]Lord knows I'm [G]dyin', dyin'
Tryna [C]put on a smile,
(put [Dm]on a [Em]smil[F]e), baby
Out here [Em]smilin' like a fool
(When the [F]only thing worth smilin' for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for
(When the [F#]only thing worth smilin' for)

[Outro 1]
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was
[Db](You) [Ebm]You[Fm][Gb]
You, [Db](you,) [Ebm]you[Fm][Ab]
I'm tryna [Db]put on a smile
(put [Ebm]on a s[Fm]mile)[Gb]
Oh, whoa, whoa
Tryna [Fm]fight these tears from cryin'
But Lord [Gb]knows I'm dyin'
[Db](Put [Ebm]on a s[Fm]mile)[Gb]
I'm [Fm]smilin' like a fool
(When the [Gb]only thing worth smilin' for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for
(When the only thing worth smilin' for)
Oh, the only thing worth smilin' for was
[Bbm]You (you)
[Ab]You
[Ebm]You, you, you, you, y[F]ou
