  What you not gonna do is top me off

So excuse me for an hour while I love myself
    Am       G                                    C
You told me, you'd protect my heart, you'd be my goalie
 F                                    Am
Thinkin' 'bout the bullshit that you sold me
    G                                    C
And I know that I ain't perfect, but you so mean
         F
We were homies


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
     Am                 G
You trip me up just to watch me fall
        C                         F
Smoke another cigarette, wash the last one down
   Am                    G
So down, down, 'til I'm flat on my face
            C                   F
You're the reason why I get so high

How can I beam when you blocking my light?
         Am
I cannot be what you want me
          G                           C    F
What you want me, what you want me to be
          Am                    G
How can I see when you cover my eyes?
                C                         F
And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?
                 Am
So tell me right now what you want me

Got a large amount of things
I can't total the price

I told her I don't need her, she can leave out my life (Life)

You only get one try, but if it's lit, we go twice (Twice)

Uh, pull up in a hard top, it's a drop-top (Top)

Told you we'd be multimillionaires, why lie? (Lie)

She know I do not care for no pressin' my mind
                  F                         Am
The federal skeleton on my wrist say prime-time (Time)
                       G
How couldn't you just let me be me?

You starting to be measly (Measly)
                  F                         Am
I couldn't even find out 'cause you leavin' me
Am                                     G
You can tell I'm pure, you can feel my energy (Energy)
                       C
Really rich, we ain't living free
                F
Got to keep it solid, and we all agree


🎸 Chorus:
         Am                        G
How am I free when you hold me so tight?
           C                         F
How can I beam when you blocking my light?
         Am
I cannot be what you want me
          G                           C    F
What you want me, what you want me to be

How can I see when you cover my eyes?
                C                         F
And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?
                 Am
So tell me right now what you want me
          G                           C    F
What you want me, what you want me to be
