A Capella chords by Chase Goehring

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
F# minorF#m
I'm out to be the best me that I can be
A augmentedA
Workin' on my craft day in and out
D MajorD
You know that's what I'm about

No, I'm not aiming to become famous

I just wanna play and sing this
F# minorF#m
The only competition I see is myself
A augmentedA
I gotta tunnel vision kinda like a telescope
 D MajorD
And I'm lookin at, and I'm picking at

Everything that I could do to become better
F# minorF#m
I see a lot of people, I hear a lot of things
A augmentedA
They're talking about diamond rings, money things
D MajorD
I guess that happens when you hit the top

Become unsatisfied with everything that you already got
F# minorF#m
You say it's all about the music
A augmentedA
But mess around with girls who do it
D MajorD
Yah you lie to your fans

I'm singing from my shadow you can call that shade
F# minorF#m
My verse is straight and my flow is hard
A augmentedA
I paint my songs like a work of art
D MajorD
I never grew up listening to other stuff

You can say I'm kinda different, maybe just a bluff
F# minorF#m
But let me tell you I am hundred percent reality
A augmentedA
Authentic I ain't dancing in a fantasy, no
D MajorD
Only sea that I'll be dancing in

Is a sea of fans in a sold out MSG
F# minorF#m             A augmentedA
Maybe a year or two, maybe a year or three

It doesn't phase me honestly
D MajorD
Even if I don't make it by then

I'll still be doing shows, so I make it in the end, yeah
F# minorF#m
And if you think I'm irrelevant
A augmentedA
Well then I must be relevant
D MajorD
'Cause you took the time to listen to my song

That I wrote on my bed in my bedroom

Chorus:
F# minorF#m
I don't sing for a backtrack
A augmentedA
I write songs in my snapback
D MajorD
I don't care what they say

Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
F# minorF#m
I don't hook up with strangers
A augmentedA
I've got class and respect
D MajorD
I don't care what they say

Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella

Hook:
F# minorF#m
A augmentedA capella, a-a capella

A augmentedA capella, a-a capella

A augmentedA capella, a-a capella

Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
E MajorE

Verse 2:
 F# minorF#m
Sometimes I need to focus on myself and what I need
A augmentedA
Sometimes I feel like my mind is on it's own kind of speed
D MajorD
But I guess its the way that it goes when you try to write like a beast

This is my feast
F# minorF#m
Don't ever classify me as a rapper
A augmentedA
I spit a little bit and I can talk fast but that's it
D MajorD
I ain't about the gold chains, ain't about the fake girls

Ain't about the high life, ain't about the money
F# minorF#m
See, my lyrics are different
A augmentedA
They come alive the minute I start to sing them
D MajorD
I would say that I put my soul all up in them

But I am a ginger, you know how that goes
F# minorF#m
My world comes together the moment
A augmentedA
My pen hits the paper like im a jail breaker
D MajorD
But I have commited, no crime to be charged for

You see me in bars but don't know what I stand for

Chorus:
F# minorF#m
I don't sing for a backtrack
A augmentedA
I write songs in my snapback
D MajorD
I don't care what they say

Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
F# minorF#m
I don't hook up with strangers
A augmentedA
I've got class and respect
D MajorD
I don't care what they say

Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella

Hook:
F# minorF#m
A augmentedA capella, a-a capella

A augmentedA capella, a-a capella

A augmentedA capella, a-a capella

Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
wait!

Verse 3:
F# minorF#m D MajorD
   My finger's bleed when I pluck strings

I was never raised to play this guitar with a pick thing

At times people say I sound British when I say things

When I say things, say things

Now they're coming to me asking if I wanna be the next big thing

I'm the next best thing, buddy
F# minorF#m
You better get your facts straight, uh
D MajorD
I don't need a record label to show them my talent great 'cause
F# minorF#m
If the people like it then the people buy it

Why would I wanna hire another writer to take it higher?

Foolish like the gold that you place in my hands
      D MajorD
That's fool's gold and I'm not fooled by this fame game

This twitter game, it's so lame
   F# minorF#m
Cause I'm verified on the inside
                      D MajorD
Don't need a blue check to be satisfied, uh

Instrumental:
F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE (x2)

Bridge:
F# minorF#m
Break strings when I play this
                 D MajorD
Take names when I play this, take notes when I play this
F# minorF#m
Break strings when I play this
                A augmentedA            D MajorD
Take names when I play this, take notes when I play this
F# minorF#m
Break strings when I play this
               A augmentedA             D MajorD
Take names when I play this, take notes when I play this
F# minorF#m
Break strings when I play this
               A augmentedA              D MajorD
Take names when I play this, take notes when I play this

You already know

Chorus:
F# minorF#m
I don't sing for a backtrack
A augmentedA
I write songs in my snapback
D MajorD
I don't care what they say
         E MajorE
Keepin' it real, kinda like an a capella
F# minorF#m
I don't hook up with strangers
A augmentedA
I've got class and respect
D MajorD
And I don't care what they say
E MajorE
And I don't care what they say
 B minorBm
'Cause I'm keepin' it real
         E MajorE
