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