Basic Being Basic chords by Djo

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
Cb     Bm   Cb
 Get food, barely eat
Cb            Bm     Cb  (Bm)
 Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
Cb     Bm  Cb
 I worried, even cried
Fbm             Fbm      G  (Gb)
  How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
Cb     Bm  Cb
 Bad habit, even worse
Cb          Bm     Cb  (Bm)
 Fifty-fifty, I’m a sucker for looks
Cb       Bm    Cb
 Asked for it, here it is
Fbm             Fbm    G
  A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits

Chorus:
        Cb          Bm Cb
I think you're scared of being basic
Cb              Bm         Cb
  That’s ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more
Cb   Bm Cb
 Basic
Fbm              Cb
  It's not funny, it's so funny
       Cb   Bm Cb
'Cause you're basic
       Cb              Bm   Cb
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
        Cb      Bm          Cb
Nothingness won’t change it (Good luck with that, good luck with what)
Fbm            Fbm G   (Gb)
  It’s not funny, but it's so funny


Verse 2:
Cb
I don’t want your money, I don't care for fame
Cb
 I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
Cb             Bm        Cb
 I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
Fbm                     Bm       Cb
 Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
Cb                  Cb
 It sent me reeling, still not the same
Cb
 It’s like my capacity to love and give has changed
Cb
 I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
Fbm                     Bm                  Cb
 The past's the past, and I'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pre-tend

Chorus:
Cb      Bm      Cb
 How basic (Sell me on it)
    Cb                 Bm         Cb
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
   Cb      Bm Cb
That's basic (Haha)
Fbm             Gm
 It's not funny, it's so funny
      Cb         Bm    Cb
That's just basic being basic  (Basically)
Cb                Bm      Cb
 You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
      Cb    Bm Cb
I guess I'll take it
Fbm               Gm
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

Bridge:
Cb
Change your body, change your face,
Bm       Cb
curl your hair then make it straight
Cb              Bm   Cb
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
Cb           Bm    Cb
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
Fbm
  It's a flash photograph

Outro:
Fbm    Bm     Cb
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
Bm     Cb     Cb
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
Bm     Cb           Cb
What an empty epitaph (That's just basic being basic)
   Bm      Cb
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
Fbm       N.C.
If that's funny, I'm not funny
