Verse 1:
     F#        E             B   F#
When you look so good, the pain in your face doesn't show
     F#        E          B   F#
When you look so good and baby, you don't even know
     F#          E             F#
When the world is ours but the world is not your kind of thing
    F#       E             F#
Full of shooting stars, brighter as they're vanishing
     F#       E           F#
Oh you've seen enough to know it's children who teach
       F#       E           F#
You're still free enough to wake up on a bed or a beach

I been crying out, "How bad can a good time be?"
     F#          E             F#
Shooting off my mouth, that's another great thing about me
    F#        E          F#
I have everything but I feel like nothing at all
