[Verse]
EHeadlocked in this Hollywood armpit
Pushed along by ego driven F#bullshit
ADreaming of Banother place where EI can ease my Amind
AThe weather's always Bperfect here but EI don't see the Asunshine
AAnd I'm not blindF#  
[Chorus]
AI've been chasing that Gold story: Erags to riches
AForgetting I've had Griches to F#begin with
AI was a good man in my Egood ol' days
ABut now it seems them Egood old days are F#done
F#The less I see my family, the Amore of a fucking Bscumbag I beEcome
[Verse]
EBefore I asked you for your name
I would probably ask you if you F#had cocaine
AThe fuck I care Babout your life; EI only care about Amine
AYou ain't no potBential wife; I'll Eonly see you one Atime
ASo let's get highEmadd4  
[Chorus]
AI've been fucking with too Gmany different Ebitches
ACalling women Gbitches to F#begin with
AI was a good man in my Egood ol' days
ABut now it seems them Egood old days are F#done
F#The less I see my family, the Amore of a fucking Bscumbag I beEcome
[Interlude]
A7sus4  Emadd4  A7sus4  Bsus4
[Verse]
EMy life ain't over, not just yet
But it's much too late for me to F#not regret
AThe days and nights I've Bwasted, how I've Espent my borrowed Atime
AI wasn't raised to Bbe so empty, Eselfish and unAkind
AI don't know whyEmadd4  
[Chorus]
AIf I knew God I'd Gask him for forgEiveness
AAnd why he even Gput me here to F#begin with
AI was a good man in my Egood ol' days
ABut now it seems them Egood old days are F#done
F#The less I see my family, the Amore of a fucking Bscumbag I beEcome
