Yeah, I was just hangin' out
Some little west coast town
Found a bar out by the sand
So I made my way in
First thing that caught my eye
Like nothin' I ever seen
Sunburned auburn hair
A California dream
Yeah, she was shakin' them hips
To some old Motown song
I couldn't say a thing
So I sang along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin'
Yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
So I just hung around
This little west coast town
I dropped by every night
I stayed 'til closin' time
My little mystery
That girl is killin' me
So I put on a song
Just to sing along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I've gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin', yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
She's got me mesmerized
She's all I'm thinkin' 'bout
All I think about, think about, think about
So I'm right here, right now
Hummin' this little song
If I could say a thing
I'd want you to know
You were a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, you're movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind) oh
I got to know your name, I got to see you again
And if you're listenin', listenin', listenin'
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Girl, I'm hangin' 'round this little town, yeah
(Where you goin', baby?)
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Maybe i know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts.
B F#m E
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face.
B F#m E
And i've always lived like this keeping a comfortable, distance.
B F#m E
And up until now i swored to myself that i'm content with loneliness,
B
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.

You are the only exception

Trying to hide the pain.

A E B C#m
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
A E B C#m
Midnights become my afternoons
A E B
When my depression works the graveyard shift
C#m A E B C#m
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-chorus 1]
A E B
I should not be left to my own devices
C#m A
They come with prices and vices
E B C#m
I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time)

I wake up screaming from dreaming

One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
E B
Cause you got tired of my scheming
C#m
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees

I’ll stare directly at the sun
C#m
But never in the mirror
A E
It must be exhausting
B C#m
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m
[Verse 2]
A E B C#m
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
A E B C#m
And I’m a monster on the hill
A E B C#m
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
A E B C#m
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-chorus 2]
A E B C#m A
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
E B C#m
Like some kind of congressman (Tale as old as time)
A E B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
C#m A
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
E B
And life will lose all its meaning
C#m
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees

But never in the mirror

It must be exhausting

Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m
[Bridge]
A E B C#m
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
A E B C#m
She thinks I left them in the will
A E B C#m
The family gathers around and reads it and then someone screams out
A E B C#m
“She’s laughing up at us from hell!”
A E
It’s me, hi,
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
It’s me, hi, everybody agrees
A E B C#m
Everybody agrees…
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees

I’ll stare directly at the sun

Always rooting for the anti-hero.

[Verse]
G#
We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof
Talkin' 'bout everything under the moon
C#
With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume
All I could think about was my next move
D#
Oh, but you were so shy, so was I
C#
Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe
D#
When you smiled and said to me
N.C. G# C# D#
Are you gonna kiss me or not?
[Chorus]
D# G# C# D#
Are we gonna do this or what?
D# C#
I think you know I like you a lot
D#
But you're 'bout to miss your shot
G# C# G# D#
Are you gonna kiss me or not?
[Verse]
G#
It was the best dang kiss that I ever had
Except for that long one after that
C#
And I knew if I wanted this thing to last
D#
Sooner or later I'd have to ask for your hand
So I took a chance
C#
Bought a wedding band and I got down on one knee
D#
And you smiled and said to me

And saw your pretty smile and I said

What's the time, such a crime
Not a single word, sipping on a patron

That's enough, hold me up
Maybe i'm in doubt, oh oh
Now don't even think you know, no no
[chorus]
Verse 3-
Anything you wanna do, i'll be on it too
Everything you say, it's like a gold with a view
Business on the front, party in the back

This kinda thing doesn't happen usually
I'm on the opposite side of it, truthfully
I know you want it so come and get it
Uh cheerio

VERSE I
Dm Bb F
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
C
You were always crazy like that
Dm Bb
I watched from my window,
F C
always felt I was outside looking in on you
Dm
You were always the mysterious one
Bb
with dark eyes and careless hair,
F C
You were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care
Dm Bb F
Then you stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
C
besides some comment on the weather
BRIDGE-
Gm
Well in case you failed to notice,
Bb
In case you failed to see,

This is my heart bleeding before you,

This is me down on my knees

You're thoughtless words are breaking my heart
Dm
You're breaking my heart
VERSE II
Dm Bb
You were always brilliant in the morning
F C
Smoking your cigarettes, talking over coffee
Dm Bb
You philosophies on art, Baroque moved you,
F
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
C
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
Dm
You'd teach me of honest things
Bb
Things that were daring, things that were clean
F C
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
Dm Bb
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
F C
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you
BRIDGE-
Gm Bb
Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
F
Somebody who gave a damn,
C
Somebody more like myself
REPEAT CHORUS.

You took your coat off and stood in the rain,

Burning them if they're not quick and nimble I go crazy when I hear a cymbal

And a hi hat with a souped up tempo I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
B F#
Rollin' in my 5. 0 With my ragtop down so my hair can blow

The girlies on standby, Waving just to say Hi Did you stop? No -- I just drove by

Kept on pursuing to the next stop I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block

That block was dead Yo - so I continued to A1a Beachfront Ave.

Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis

Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine

Reading for the chumps on the wall The chumps acting ill because they're so full of Eight Ball
G#m E
Gunshots ranged out like a bell I grabbed my nine - All I heard were shells
B F#
Falling on the concrete real fast Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
G#m E
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack

I know you're going but I can't believe

Bm G
Im about to lose my mind
A
you've been gone for so long
A
I'm running out of time
G
I need a doctor
G
call me a doctor
F#
I need a doctor, doctor
I told the world one day I would pay it back
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
So that one day I could play it back
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
Y'all starting to creep in, everyday its so gray and black
Hope, I just need a ray of that
Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for 'em
They just say its wack
But they don't know what dope is
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep
When I wrote this,
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
You picked me up, breath new life in me
I owe my life to you
But for the life of me I don't see why you don't see like I do
But it just dawned on me you lost a son
Demons fighting you, it's dark
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me it'll enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you mean to me
Not the slightest clue
'Cause me and you were like a crew
I was like your sidekick
You gon' either wanna fight me when I get off this fucking mic
Or you gon' hug me
But I'm out of options there's nothing else I can do 'cause
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
It hurts when I see you struggle
You come to me with ideas
You say there just pieces so I'm puzzled
'Cause the shit I hear is crazy
But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Can't make a decision you keep questioning yourself
Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
Like I'm your leader
Your supposed to fucking be my mentor
I can endure no more,
I demand you remember who you are
It was you, who believed in me
When everyone was telling you don't sign me
Everyone at the fucking label, lets tell the truth
You risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy
Dre, I'm crying in this booth
You saved my life, now maybe its my turn to save yours
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
But I ain't giving up faith and you ain't giving up on me
Get up Dre, I'm dying, I need you, come back for fuck's sake
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
(I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life)
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
You walked in, yellow jump suit
Whole room, cracked jokes
Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
Went through friends, some of them I put on
But they just left, they said they was riding to the death
But where the fuck are they now
Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
All I see is Slim
Fuck all you fair-weather friends
All I need is him
Fucking backstabbers
When the chips were down you just laughed at us
Now you 'bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, fagots
You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
Little crack a jack beat making wack ass backwards producers,
I'm back bastards
One more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I'm leaving
I'll guarantee they scream Dre don't leave us like that man 'cause
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life

If you get the chance you better keep her
She's sweet as pie but if you break her heart
She'll turn cold as a freezer

She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma

No, you're never gonna get it

Never ever gonna get it
No, you're never gonna get it
Never ever gonna get it (no, not this time)
No, you're never gonna get it (my love)
Never ever gonna get it
I remember how it used to be
You never was this nice, you can't fool me
Now you talkin' like you made a change
The more you talk, the more things sound the same
What makes you think you can just walk back into her life
Without a good fight? Oh
I just sit back and watch you make a fool of yourself
Cuz you're just wasting your time, oh
No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
Now you promise me the moon and stars
Save your breath, you won't get very far
Gave you many chances to make change
The only thing you changed was love to hate
It doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, No way
No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (my lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
No, you're never gonna get it (not this time)

No, you're never gonna get it (had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
Doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She don't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, No way
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it (whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never gonna get it
Never gonna get it, never get it
No, you're never gonna get it (sweet lovin')
Never ever gonna get it (sweet lovin')

Verse 1: Cmaj7 Dm7
Well sometimes i go out by myself and i look across the water
And I think of all the things,
what you're doing and in my head i make a picture
Chorus F Em7 F Em7 G7 G7
'cos since i've come on home , well my body's been a mess
And i've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie? Valerie?
Verse 2
Did you have to go to jail, put your house up for sale,
Did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it up for ya
Are you shopping' anywhere,
changed the color of your hair , are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine
you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy
repeat chorus
repeat verse 1
Verse 1:
Oh, once upon a midnight eerie I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies,
yeah humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Well, what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully
Chorus:
But you Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
Verse 2:
Shake me and my confidence About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch",
hey baby, let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Tra la la la la bombardier, this is the pilot speaking
I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full
Oh I like coffee and I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
Chorus:

Verse 3-
Have you ever popped champagne on a plane
While getting' some brain
Whipped it out, she said "I never seen snakes on a plane"
Whether you broke or rich you gotta get biz
Having' money's the everything that having' it is
I was splurging' on trizz
But when I get my card back activated
I'm back to Vegas cause
I always had a passion for flashin' before I had it
I closed my eyes and imagined, the good life
Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7
Is the good life better than the life I lived
A Em7 F#m7
When I thought that I was gonna go crazy
Gmaj7 A Em7 F#m7

[Verse 1] Dmaj7 A E F#m7
Wanna believe, wanna believe /
That you don't have a bad bone in your body
But the bruises on your ego make you go wild, wild, wild, yeah
Wanna believe, wanna believe /
That even when you're stone cold, you're sorry
Tell me why you gotta be so outta your mind, yeah
[Pre-Chorus] Dmaj7 E A A
I know you're chokin' on your fears /
Already told you I'm right here /
I will stay by your side every night
[Chorus] Dmaj7 A E F#m7
I don't know why you hide from the one /
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love /
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one /
You can be kind to the one that you love
[Verse 2] Dmaj7 A E F#m7
I know you need, I know you need
The upper hand even when we aren't fighting
'Cause in the past, you had to prepare every time, yeah /
Don't wanna leave, don't wanna leave /
But if you're gonna fight, then do it for me
I know you're built to love, but broken now, so just try, yeah

and do anything that you want to do
but ah ah honey lay [A7]off of my shoes / and [D ]don't you
step on my blue suede [A]shoes
you can [E ]do anything but lay [D ]off of my blue suede [A]shoes
Well you can [A]burn my house / steal my car
drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
and do anything that you want to do
but [A7]ah ah honey lay off of my shoes / and [D ]don't you
step on my blue suede [A]shoes
you can [E ]do anything but lay [D ]off of my blue suede [A]shoes

[Verse 1]
A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A Dadd9
Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry"
A Dadd9
Five days since you laughed at me saying
A Dadd9
"Get that together come back and see me"
A Dadd9
Three days since the living room
A Dadd9
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
A Dadd9
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
A Dadd9
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
(During the rap its just kind of a funky rock thing I dont really know what its
called but you just hold 000033 if it feels more comfortable you can play G but
you're really only going to strum the high strings)
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver
[Chorus]
F#m7 Esus4
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
A/C# Dadd9
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
F#m7 Esus4
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
A/C#
Can't understand what I mean?
Dadd9
Well, you soon will
F#m7 Esus4
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
A/C# Dadd9
I have a history of taking off my shirt
[Verse 2]
A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A
Threw your arms in the air
Dadd9
and said "You're crazy"
A Dadd9
Five days since you tackled me
A Dadd9
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
A Dadd9
It's been three days since the afternoon
A
You realized it's not my fault
Dadd9
not a moment too soon
A Dadd9
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
A Dadd9
And now I sit back and wait til you say you're sorry
(Again with the 000033 through the whole verse)
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
[Chorus]
F#m7 Esus4
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
A/C# Dadd9
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
F#m7 Esus4
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
A/C#
Can't understand what I mean?
Dadd9
Well, you soon will
F#m7 Esus4
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
A/C# Dadd9
I have a history of losing my shirt
[Verse 3]
A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A
Dropped your arms to your sides
Dadd9
and said "I'm sorry"
A Dadd9
Five days since I laughed at you and said
A Dadd9
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
A Dadd9
Three days since the living room
A
We realized we're both to blame,
Dadd9
but what could we do?
A Dadd9
Yesterday you just smiled at me
A Dadd9
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
[Outro]
A Esus4
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
A Esus4
It'll still be two days till we say wasabi

until then it's alienation, I know, that much is understood
C
And I realize
CHORUS-
G C
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
Em D C
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
G C
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
Em D C
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
Em D G Em7 Em D G
No matter what they say, I'm not over you
Damn, damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
You took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I I'm a boomerang doesn't matter how you throw me
Turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you
CHORUS-
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth.
No matter what I say, I'm not over you
BRIDGE-
D G C Em
And if I had the chance to renew
D G C
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
Em D
I could get back on the right track
G C
But only if you'd be convinced
Em D
So until then
CHORUS-
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you
CHORUS

You make me wanna leave the one I'm with
Fm7 Abmaj7 G
Start a new relationship with you, this is what you do.
Cm7 Fm7 Abmaj7
I think about a ring and all the things that come along with

you make me, you make me (2x)
Cm7
Before anything began between us
Abmaj7 G
You were like my best friend
Cm7
The one I used to run and talk to
Abmaj7 G
When me and my girl was having problems
Cm7
You used to say it'll be OK
Abmaj7 G
Suggest little nice things I should do
Cm7
And when I go home at night and lay my head down
Abmaj7 G
Last thing I think about was you and how...
CHORUS
Cm7
Now what's bad is you're the one that hooked us up
Abmaj7 G
Knowing it should have been you
Cm7 Abmaj7
What's sad is that I love her but I'm falling for you
G
What should I do?
Cm7
Should I tell my baby bye-bye?
Abmaj7 G
Should I do exactly what I feel inside?
Cm7
Could I, I don't wanna go, don't need to stay
Abmaj7 G
But I really need to get it together
CHORUS
Abmaj7 Bb G7/B Cm7
At this point the situation's out of control

I never meant to hurt her but I gotta let her go

I tried, I tried to fight it but the feeling's just too strong.

Started not to give a fuck and stop fearing the consequence
Bm
Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long I'm floating in and out of consciousness
And they sayin' I'm back, I'd agree with that
I just take my time with all this shit, I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off, ohh I needed that
And they wanna see me pick back up, well where'd I leave it at
I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that
Tuck my napkin in my shirt, cause I'm just mobbin' like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gone make someone around me catch a body like that
No don't do it, please don't do it, cause one of us goes in
And we all go through it
So Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gone pay it
Those my brothers

They know, they know, they know

Fuck them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide
Now its something they know
They know, they know, they know
Yeah I be yelling out money over everything, money on my mind.
Then she wanna ask when it got so empty
Tell her I apologize it happened over time
[Verse 2-]
She says they missed the old drake, girl don't tempt me
If they don't get it, they'll be over you
That new shit that you got is overdue
You better do what you suppose to do
I'm like why I gotta be all that but still I can't deny the fact that it's true
Listen to you expressing all them feelings
Soap opera rappers all these s sound like all my children
And that's who you thinking is 'bout to come and make a killing
I guess it really is just me, myself and all my millions.
You know the game even got it like that.
You gone hype me up and make me catch a body like that
Cause I live for this it isn't just a hobby like that.
When they get my shit and play it
[Chorus]
I ain't even gotta say it
That's just something they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
Yeah they know yeah
That the real is on the rise
Fuck them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide
Now its something they know
They know, they know, they know
I be yelling out money over everything, money on my mind.
Tell em' I apologize it happened over time

And nobody cries. There's only butterflies....
[chorus] Em G D C
Take me away, A secret place.
A sweet escape, Take me away.
Take me away to better days.
Take me away- A higher place...
D
So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
A Bm
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top,
Don't hold back
G
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
D A
I don't ever want to let you down
Bm
I don't ever want to leave this town
G
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night...
D
It's time to begin, isn't it?
Bm
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
Em
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
G
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
D A Bm G
D
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
A
the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell,
Bm
right to the top
Don't look back
G
Turning to rags and give the commodities a rain check
D
I don't ever want to let you down
A Bm
I don't ever want to leave this town
G
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night...
D
It's time to begin, isn't it?
Bm
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
Em
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
G
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
Bm A
This road never looked so lonely,
G
This house doesn't burn down slowly,
Em G
to ashes, to ashes...
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
Bm
It's time to begin, isn't it?
A
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
G
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
Em G
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?

[Em, C, G, D]
Em
Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her.
Used to jump up in the Maybach and roll out.
C
Used to care, she used to share...
The love that she used to give me can't be found.
G
I lost my way, she said she'd stay.
And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost!
D
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold.
Em
That was before the great depression kicked in and rocked us.
C
And that was before the hurricane, came in and stopped us.
D
I told you to leave, but you lied to me...
When you said that,
D
baby no worries I promise to get us back.
Chorus
Em
I know sorries, just wouldn't do it.
C
Her heart is obliterated, I'm tryna' travel through,
G
But it's like moving mountains...
D
It's like moving mountains... hey.
Em
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change...
C
And the sky turns grey, and the water from the rain washes progress away.
G
It's like moving mountains...
D
It's like moving mountains...
