Verse:
F                                                 C
Pretty girls and cars, God, I'm sucking my cheeks in
C            Am                           F
Shimmering mirage, I can see what I wanna be
F                                                  C
Pretty girls, no hearts, we can't be what we wanna be
C                  Am                                 F
Many dreams, many stars, many broken promises, not a keep
F                 C                     Am
Tryna, tryna keep up, tryna, tryna keep up
Am                 F
Trying not to keep up
F                          C
It's hard tryna to keep it up

It's hard tryna to keep it up
Am                 F
Tryin' not to keep up—
