verse 1
A# F
Swore I was gonna tell 'em the truth
Dm C A# F
That was til everybody started asking 'bout you
Dm C
And I didn’t know what to say
A#
Came up with some lame excuse
F
Why you were gone
Dm C
Said you were gonna come later on
A# F
Planted a smile on my face
Dm C
Like everything was okay
A# F
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
A# F
I don’t want em to see I'm dying inside
Dm C
So I guess I’ll be the life
A# F Dm C
Life of the party

Guess I didn’t wanna tell her that you said goodbye
