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