[Intro]

[Verse 1]
G7
I could write a record full of radio songs
Cm
Do a bunch of features that my label would love
Fm
Do a bunch of features that I don't even like
G7 Cm
Just to build up the hype, yeah
G7
I could sell my house and move out to LA
Cm
Get inside of rooms with the biggest of names
Fm G7
Hire fifty people just to give me advice on the way I should write
Cm
Oh, God
G7
Yeah, sounds like a nightmare, if you ask me
Cm
Yeah, went from my bedroom to the big leagues
Fm
You know how many times that I was told things?
G7 Cm
Wouldn't work, but worked out, having cold feet
G7
Didn't keep mе from success, but delayed it somе
Cm
I used to be the guy who'd kill to get a number one
I had to hear, "that song's a hit" before I thought it was
Fm G7
But nowadays I don't really give a— (What)
[Chorus]
Cm
Oh, God (Yeah)
G7
Might catch me at the awards show
Cm
Eatin' popcorn in the back row
Fm
Catchin' Zs with my hat low
G7 Cm
No nominations, but it's cool though, oh, God
G7
You might see me in the same clothes
Cm
I had on last week, am I ashamed? No
Fm G7 Cm
Yeah, you heard the sayin', "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," that's my motto
[Verse 2]
G7
Yeah, I miss buyin' CDs at the store
Cm
And thumbin' through the cases tryin' to make a choice (Yeah)
Fm
That don't make no sense to you? Well of course
G7 Cm
See, one man's inconvenience is another's joy
G7
Wow, wow, how are you unemployed?
Cm
Tellin' me to get a life, you should look at yours
Fm
Yup, congratulations, you can raise your voice
G7
Hope you break both of your legs fallin' off your horse
Cm G7
Oh, snap, this is the industry
Cm
Where it ain't how big you are, it's how big you seem
Where people sacrifice the art tryna chase a dream
Fm G7
Then they wonder why they music's lackin' creativity
Cm G7
Oh, yeah, would've gave anything
Cm
To be respected by the artist I was listening
To, but not no more, them days are history
Fm G7
Skip the red carpet, you lookin' for me?
[Chorus]
Cm
Oh, God (Yeah)
G7
Might catch me at the awards show
Cm
Eatin' popcorn in the back row

[Bridge]
G7
Got my feet propped up
Cm
Leave my shirts untucked
Fm
I'm the boss, so what?
G7 Cm
I do what I want (Oh, God)
G7
You got the trophy, that's great
Cm
I'm happy for you, no hate
N.C.
Still got a smile on my face
N.C.
Chillin' in the back like, ayy
[Chorus]
Cm
Oh, God (Yeah)
G7
Might catch me at the awards show

Eatin' popcorn in the back row
