[Verse]
G
I'm sorry, but I'm just a girl
Bm
Not usually the kind to show my heart to the world
C
I'm pretty good at keeping it together
D
I hold my composure, for worse or for better
G
So I apologize if you don't like what you see
Bm
But sometimes my emotions get the best of me
C
And falling apart is as human as it gets
D
You can't hide it, you can't fight what the truth is
[Chorus]
G
You can pretty lie and say it's okay
Bm
You can pretty smile and just walk away
C
Pretty much fake your way through anything
D G
But you can't cry pretty
[Verse]
G
Oh no, you can't dress it up in lace or rhinestones
Bm
Don't matter if you're in a crowd or home all alone
C
Yeah, it's all the same when you're looking in the mirror
D
A picture of pain, so let it flow like a river
[Chorus]
G
You can pretty lie and say it's okay
Bm
You can pretty smile and just walk away
C
Pretty much fake your way through anything
D
But you can't cry pretty
G
You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks
Bm
When all your mascara is going to waste
C
When things get ugly, you just gotta face
Eb D G
That you can't cry pretty
Bm
Oh no, you can't
C Eb D
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
G
You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks
Bm
When all your mascara is going to waste
C
When things get ugly, you just gotta face
Eb D G
That you can't cry pretty
[Outro]
Bm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No, you can't cry
C
No, you can't cry
Eb D G Bm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
C
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, woo
Eb
You can't cry
D G
You can't cry pretty, baby
Bm C
Oh yeah, woo, woo
Eb D G
No, you can't cry pretty, yeah
