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