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
