In the merry-go-round

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