[G] [Em] [D] [G]
[Bm] [Gm] [Am] [C]
[G] [Em] Sometimes I sit at home and [D] wonder how it'd be if he [G] had loved [Em] me, truly loved [Bm] me, yes.
[G] [Em] I learned a while ago that kind [Bm] of thing [D] never [G] happens for [Em] me.
[D] And so I go [Em] around and just pretend love [D] is not for me.
I play [G] the [Em] circus clown around.
My friends make them laugh [Bm] and they won't see that [G] you let [Em] them see.
Don't [D] want them to think [Em] the pain [Bm] [Bb] runs deep.
[Am] Lord knows [Bm] it's killing [Ab] me.
[E] So [G] I put on my makeup, put a smile on my face.
And if anyone asks me, [Am] everything [G] is okay.
I'm laughing cause no one knows the joke is on me.
Cause I'm dying inside [C] with my bride [G] and the smile [C] on my [F] face.
On my [G] face.
[Em] Singing la la la.
La la la la.
La la la [D] la.
[G] [Em] Sometimes I sit at home by [D] the phone hoping he [G] might call [Em] me.
But he don't call [D] me.
[G] [Em] But then I realize dreams [D] come true aren't for [G] girls [Em] like me.
[D] And so [G] I [Em] go around like [D] it ain't no thing.
And when [G] the [Em] boys around my friends come into [D] other things.
Cause [G] you never [Em] see it's fake.
Don't [D] want them to think [G] the [Bm] pain [Bb] runs deep.
[C] Lord knows [Ab] it's killing me.
[E] So [G]
I put on my makeup, put a smile on my face.
And if anyone asks me, [Am] everything [G] is okay.
No one knows the joke is on me.
But I'm [E] dying inside [C] with my bride [G] and the smile on my [F] [C] face.
On my [G] face.
It's not [Am] that [Em] easy.
Sometimes [Bm] it's hard [Em] to face the [Am] truth.
It's not [Em] that I can choose.
[Dm] But what [Em] else can I do if he [C] don't love me.
If he [A] don't want me.
I'm [Am] not about [G] to sit around.
Let my [F] girl [C] go.
[Em] [G]
I [C] put a smile [G]
[Am] on [C] my face.
Everything is okay.
[D] [G] No one knows the joke is on me.
But I'm dying inside with [C]
[G] my [C] bride and the smile on my face.
On my face.
Singing [G] la-la-la-la-la -la-la-la-la-la [C]-la-la-la.
[D] I keep singing la [Em]-la [G]-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
