Chords for J. Cole - Crooked Smile ft. TLC (Official Audio)

_ I'm away, I'm away, I'm [Am] away down I'm away, I'm away, I'm [D] away down
You were [Em] the one that was trying to keep me [D] way down
But like [Em] the sun, now you know I found [C] my way back round
They tell me I should fix my grill cause I [Am] got money now
I ain't gon' sit around [D] in front like I ain't thought about it
A perfect [G] smile is more appealing but [E] it's funny how
My shit [G] is crooked, look at how far I [C] done got without it
I keep my twisted grill just to show the [Am] kids it's real
We ain't picture perfect but we worth [D] the picture [Bm] still
I got smart, I got rich and I got [E] bitches still
And [G] they all look like my eyebrows, [C] thick as hell
Love yourself girl or nobody [Am] will
Though you a woman I don't know how you deal
With all [E] the rush to look impressive [G] and go out in heels
I feel [D] for you, killa yourself [G] or find a man that'll kill [C] for you
You wake up, put makeup on, stare in [Am] the mirror
But it's clear that you can't face what's wrong
No need to [D] fix what God already put his [G] paintbrush on
Your [Em] roommate yelling, why you gotta [G] take so long?
What it's [C] like to have a crooked smile?
I'm away, I'm away, I'm [Am] away down
I'm [A] away, I'm away, I'm [D] away down
When you're [G] down, I was trying to keep my [E] weight down
But like the [G] sun, now you know I found [C] my way back round
So all the women with the flaws know it's hard my [Am] darling
You wonder why you're lonely and your man's not [E] crawling
You keep [G] falling, victim cause you're [E] insecure
And when I [G] tell you that you're beautiful you [C] can't be sure
Cause he don't seem to want you back and it's [Am] got you asking
So all you see is what you lack and not [D] what you packing
Take it [Bm] from a man that loves what you got
And baby girl you a [G] star, don't let him tell you you're not
[C] Now is it real?
Eyebrows, fingernails, [A] hair
Is it [B] real?
If it's not girl you don't [E] care
Cause what's real is [B] something that the eyes can't [D] see
That the hands can't [Bm] touch, that them bras can't [C] be in that shoe
Never let him see your friend
And if you need a friend to pick you up I'll be around
[D] Or we can ride with the [G] windows down, the music [E] loud
I can tell you ain't [G] laughing or laughing but I [C] wanna see that crooked smile
I'm away, I'm away, I'm away [Am] down
I'm away, I'm [D] away, I'm away down
You're the [G] one that was trying to keep me [E] way down
But like the [G] sun, now you know I found my [C] way back round
Crooked [A] smile with your style on em [Am] Back round
Crooked [Ab] smile with your style on em
[E] You're the [Em] one that was trying to keep me [E] way down
But like the [Em] sun, now you know I found my [C] way back round
And like them people on the screen
You know [A] them movie stars, picture perfect beauty queens
But [E] we got dreams and we [C] got the right to chase em
[E] Look at the nation, that's the crooked [Bm] smile
Braces cooking [C] even straightened
[E] Seem like half the race is either on [Am] probation [C] or in jail
Wonder why we [D] inhale, cause we inhale [Em] already
I ask if my [E] skin pale, would I then [G] sell like Eminem or [C] Adele?
Well one more time for the veil
And fuck [Am] all of that beef shit nigga, let's make a meal
Hey [D] officer man, we don't want nobody [G] getting killed
Just [D] open up that cell, let my brother [G] out of jail
I got money [C] for the bill now, and will now
If you asking, [Am] will I tell now?
[Em] Hey hell nah, I ain't [D] snitching cause
Man they give [G] them niggas stitches now
If [Em] you was around, then you [G] wouldn't need a witness now
How [C] you like this crooked smile?
I'm away, I'm away, I'm away [Am] down
I'm away, [G] I'm away, I'm away [D] down
You were the one [G] that was trying to keep me way [E] down
But like the sun, [G] now you know I found my way [C] back round
Crooked smile, wicked style on em
[Em] Crooked smile, wicked style on em
[D] You were the one [G] that was trying to keep me way [E] down
But like the sun, [Em] now you know I found my way [C] back round
