Put On A Smile

[Intro]
C#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

[Pre-Verse]
C#m        B/C#
   Ooh, oohooh
G#m7               Amaj7
Oohoohoohooh, ooh, mmm  

[Verse 1]
C#m                                     B/C#
   I could pretend when I'm out with my friends
I ain't thinkin' about you
G#m7
    I could pretend like I ain't in my feelings
               Amaj7    C#m
But that ain't true, nah   (Nah)
                               B/C#
When I called you out your name
That was my ego, my pride, and pain
G#m7
    I should be a movie star
                             Amaj7
The way I play the part like everything's okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh,
F#m7
    now I try to be the life of the party
   G#m7
All    night, buying shots for everybody
         A/B
But it's all just an act 'cause I can't have you back
    B7b9
Without you, I've been goin' crazy

[Chorus]
      Emaj7          Amaj7
Tryna put  on a smile
      G#m7
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
        A/B            B7b9
But Lord   knows I'm dyin', dyin'
      Emaj7                 Amaj7
Tryna put  on a smile, smile
              G#m7
Ooh, out here smilin' like a fool
         A/B
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl,
the only thing worth smilin' for was

[Pre-Verse]
C#m         B/C#
   You, you,    you
    G#m7
You,    you, you, you, you
   Amaj7
You

[Verse 2]
C#m                                     B/C#
   If I could turn back the hands on my Rollie,
you know I would
G#m7
    I would've spent all my time makin' sure that my baby
Amaj7
good
   C#m
I'm   tryin' hard to hide the shame
B/C#
    I know I'm playin' a dangerous game
G#m7
    But since you been gone,
I ain't been the same
             Amaj7
There's only so   much a man can fake

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh,
F#m7
    now I try to be the life of the party
   G#m7
All    night, buying shots for everybody
         A/B
But it's all just an act 'cause I can't have you back
    B7b9
Without you, I've been goin' crazy

[Chorus]
      Emaj7          Amaj7
Tryna put  on a smile
      G#m7
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
        A/B            B7b9
But Lord   knows I'm dyin', dyin'
      Emaj7                 Amaj7
Tryna put  on a smile, smile
              G#m7
Ooh, out here smilin' like a fool
         A/B
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl,
the only thing worth smilin' for
         Bb/C
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl,
the only thing worth smilin' for

[Bridge]
Fmaj7    Bbmaj7    Fmaj7 Bb/C C7b9
     You,      you,      you 

[Chorus]
          Fmaj7          Bbmaj7
I'm tryna put  on a smile
Ohoh,
      Am7
tryna fight these tears from cryin'
         Bb/C           Bbmaj7
But Lord knows I'm dyin'
        Am7
I'm smilin' like a fool
         Bb/C
When the 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

[Outro]
Dm         C/D
  You, you,   you
    Gm7                  Asus4 A
You,   you, you, you, you
