[verse 1]
Dm            G
They tell me keep it simple,
C             F
 I tell them take it slow
Bm          E         Am
I feed and water an idea so I let it grow
Dm            G
I tell them take it easy,
C                F
 they laugh and tell me "no"
Bm            E
It’s cool but I don’t see them
Am
laughin' at my money though
Dm            G
They spittin' facts at me,
C               F
 I’m spittin' tracks, catch me?
Bm            E
I’m spinning gold out my
Am
records know you can’t combat me
Dm            G
They tell me Jesus walks,
C             F
 I tell them money talks
Dm            G
Bling got me chill, 'cause I’m
C            F
living in an ice box
Dm            G
They tell me I've been sleepin',
C            F
 I say I’m wide awake
Bm               E
Tracks hot and ready so they
Am
call me mister e-z bake
Dm            G
They say the grass is greener,
C             F
 I think my grass is dank
Bm          E
Drivin' with a drank on an
Am
empty tank to the bank

[pre-chorus 1]
Gm                        F
Do you feel me? Take a look inside my brain
    Gm
The people always different but it
F
always feels the same
Bb                      Eb
  That’s the real me, pop the champagne
     F           Gm/F#
The haters wanna hurt me and I’m
 Gm              A
laughin' at the pain

[chorus]
Dm        G  C  F
Stayin' still, eyes closed
Bm        E         Am
Let the world just pass me by
Dm    G    C       F
Pain pills, nice clothes
Bm    E       Am
If I fall I think I’ll fly
Dm G     C  F
Touch me, Midas
Bm        E      Am
Make me part of your design
Dm G   C  F
None to guide us
Bm      E           Am
I feel fear for the very last time

[verse 2]
Dm            G
They tell me that I’m special,
C             F
 I smile and shake my head
Bm               E
I’ll give them stories to tell
Am
friends about the things I said
Dm           G
They tell me I’m so humble,
C             F
 I say I’m turning red
Bm           E
They let me lie to them and
 Am
don’t feel like they’ve been misled
Dm            G
They give so much to me,
C             F
 I’m losing touch, get me?
Bm            E
Served on a silver platter,
Am
 ask for seconds they just let me
Dm            G
They tell me I’m a God,
C                   F
 I’m lost in the facade
Bm                 E
Six feet off the ground at all
Am
times I think I’m feelin' odd
Dm          G
No matter what I make,
C            F
 they never see mistakes
Bm              E
Makin' so much bread, I don’t
 Am
care that they’re just being fake
Dm            G
They tell me they’re below me,
C            F
 I act like I’m above
Bm                  E
The people blend together but I
Am
would be lost without their love

[pre-chorus 2]
Gm                       F
Can you heal me? Have I gained too much?
     Gm
When you become untouchable you’re
F
unable to touch
Bb                    Eb
Is there a real me? Pop the champagne
    F              Gm/F#
It hurts me just to think and I
Gm         A
don’t do pain

[chorus]
Dm        G  C  F
Stayin' still, eyes closed
Bm        E         Am
Let the world just pass me by
Dm    G    C       F
Pain pills, nice clothes
Bm    E       Am
If I fall I think I’ll fly
Dm G     C  F
Touch me, Midas
Bm        E      Am
Make me part of your design
Dm G   C  F
None to guide us
Bm      E           Am        Dm
I feel fear for the very last time

[outro A]
  G       C    F
Lay still, restless
Bm        E         Am
Losing sleep while I lose my mind (Yeah)
Dm        G  C  F
All thrill, no stress
Bm        E         Am
All my muses left behind (Left behind)
Dm       G  C  F
  World is, below
Bm        E         Am
So high up, I’m near divine (I'm so high up)
Dm   G  C    F
Lean in, let go
Bm        E         Am
I feel fear for the very last time
