[Refrain]
A C#m D A
Mama never told me there'd be nights like this
A C#m D A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
A C#m D A
Papa never told me I'd be broke as shit
A C#m D A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
A C#m
But grandma always told me, "Keep your head up, boy
D A
Life isn't a toy, it's all about you choices"
A C#m
Voices drowning out the noises
D A
Howling in the city, always trying to destroy this
A C#m D A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
A C#m D E F#m
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 1]
F#m
Grandpa puffing on a new cigar
C#m C#m/Bm
While I keep strumming on his old guitar
Bm
Hoping that it takes me pretty far
bm C#m F#m
Wanna go places that I can't go in my car
F#m
I wanna be a star, want my shit to play in bars
C#m C#m/Bm
And kids to say, "Damn, he's got bars"
Bm
Flow out of this world like it's Mars
E E E E E E E E
Swing into the chorus like I'm Tarzan
[Refrain]
A C#m D A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Or
Mama never told me there'd be nights like this
A C#m D A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Or
Papa never told me I'd bе broke as shit
A C#m D A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Or
Mama never told mе there'd be nights like this
Nights like this, oh
[Verse 2]
F#m
Never thought about it back when I was a kid
C#m C#m/Bm
I used to hide all of my money in my socks, I did
Bm
Until I wrote my first hit, I pray to God you never hear it
Bm C#m F#m
At the time, I was the only one who needed to believe it
F#m
I swear, when I get there
C#m C#m/Bm
All my goddamn problems would've disappeared
Bm
But I'm right here at the entrance
C#m
Looked better from a distance, oh man
E E E E E E E E
I'm boutta swing into the chorus like I'm Tarzan
[Refrain]
A C#m D A
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
