[Chorus]

In the merry-go-round

Even tho I'm broke

I know I'm still a child

At the bone, cause that merry go round

Even tho I'm on my own
Bm
I'll always be a child

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