F# C# D#m A#m Cb F# D#m C#
[Chorus]
F#
In the merry-go-round
C#
Even tho I'm broke
D#m
I know I'm still a child
A#m Cb
At the bone, cause that merry go round
F#
Even tho I'm on my own
D#m
I'll always be a child
C#
At the bone, (and..) (x2)
[Verse 1]
F# C#
See, when I was a kid, I be starrin' at PBS
D#m A#m
Or playing tag on recess, feeling no need to be stressed
Cb F#
Could get whatever I want with just a simple request
D#m C#
Playing the part with no rest and come on in refreshed
F# C#
It's like it's a gift and I saw it as a blessing
D#m A#m
Whenever I was wrong, we moved on and learned a lesson
Cb F#
I never felt the need to take a hit or blow the rezin
D#m C#
But now the feeling's gone, is it I was just messing?
F# C#
And things have changed, now that I am 17
D#m A#m
I start to realize that people often never 'gree
Cb F#
Sad to question how more on we disagree
D#m
And why was so mean,
N.C.
I'm wonderin' why so few people have had a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
F# C#
And I'm wishin' that it will just all slow down
D#m A#m
I'm just tryna forget all that I know now
Cb F#
That's why I breath in slow and let the smoke blow out
D#m C#
So pass to the left until that green go brown
[Chorus]
F#
In the merry-go-round
C#
Even tho I'm broke
D#m
I know I'm still a child
A#m Cb
At the bone, cause that merry go round
F#
Even tho I'm on my own
D#m
I'll always be a child
C#
At the bone, (and..) (x2)
[Interlude]
F# C#
La la, lalalala
D#m A#m
La la, lalalala
Cb F#
La la, lalalala
D#m C#
La la, yo uhh
[Verse 2]
F# C#
Yo, I throw it back a couple years, just for a minute
D#m A#m
Spin it like a record, play it back until the finish
Cb F#
Listen to me tell it, lemme reminisce
D#m C#
See, it was forth grade when I first exceeded limits
F# C#
Oh, I got suspended, shots to chest for Bennett
D#m A#m
Teachers actin' offended, really they just pretendin'
Cb F#
My parents saw my ass sayn to pick who my friends is
D#m C#
Sit with it repentant, man, I never understood
F# C#
How could all this punishment possibly lead to good?
D#m A#m
Fuck a time out, I'mma live it how I should
Cb F#
I dipped out, while I hid my head under my hood
D#m C#
Hopin' nobody could see me piecin' that Hollywood
F# C#
And it has been like a dream, I just haven't woke up
D#m A#m
It's time to go up, hopefully before I blow up
Cb F#
You know what? I just keep on giving no fucks
D#m
Cause if the living isn't great,
N.C.
then you should probably smoke up
[Chorus]
F#
In the merry-go-round
C#
Even tho I'm broke
D#m
I know I'm still a child
A#m Cb
At the bone, cause that merry go round
F#
Even tho I'm on my own
D#m
I'll always be a child
C#
At the bone, (and..) (x2)
[Outro]
F# C#
La la, lalalala
D#m A#m
La la, lalalala
Cb F#
La la, lalalala
D#m C#
La la (x2)
