[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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
A# F
And then one of your friends
Dm C A# F
Came up and gave me a hug and asked me how we’ve been
Dm C
I smiled and said we’re better than we’ve ever been
A# F
Well I don’t know why I had to lie
Dm C
Guess I didn’t wanna tell her that you said goodbye
A# F Dm
I couldn’t even look er in the eye
C
So I kept on…
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
A# F
Everybody thinkin I’m feelin good
Dm C
Everybody thinkin I’m havin a real good time
A# F C Dm
Don’t know the truth about you and I
[Chorus]
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
Dm C
So I guess I’ll be the life
A# F Dm C
Life of the party
[Outro]
A# F
Swore I was gonna tell em the truth
Dm C
But I didn’t know what to say
