[Chorus: James Arthur]
You could get Bbmhigh or you could get Gblow
You could stay young or you could grow Dbold
Let it gBbmo (OoGboh)
'Cause I'ma I'ma go for brDboke
You could go hAbmard or you could go hGbome
You could live life or you could just foDbld
Let it gBbmo (OoGboh)
'Cause I'ma I'ma go for brDboke
[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
GbLook, I started with a dollar and a dream, rGbmight
So I could show these people how to drBbeam, right
GbI could show 'em how to aim for the stars
And take it to the arenas from the strGbmeetlights
GbDamn, oh this is what the top feels like? (WGbmhoa)
I still remember Ramen noodle meal nigBbhts
GbI still remember checkin' my account
And having Gbm26 dollars, when I signed my record deal night
BbAnd I remember beGbing cold
And my apartment used to heat up from the kDbitchen stove
Highs and BbmLows, it's how it goes
So I gGbotta roll somethin' up
Just to cope with the pressures of growin' Dbup, man
[Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly]
DbWhat a weGbek
We made it to the bar 'cause we need to hDbeal up
You gotta play for BbmkeepGbs
'Cause aces tend to stay with deaDblers
You got to believe Gbit
But I'm a sinner too so I ain't pDbreachin'
Just keep on dreAbamiGbn'
'Cause all the bad dEbmays come for good reasons
[Chorus: James Arthur]
You could get Bbmhigh or you could get Gblow
You could stay young or you could grow Dbold
Let it gBbmo (OoGboh)
'Cause I'ma I'ma go for brDboke
You could go hAbmard or you could go hGbome
You could live life or you could just foDbld
Let it gBbmo (OoGboh)
'Cause I'ma I'ma go for brDboke
[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]
GbYeah, and if I had a dollar
For eEbmverytime they told me what DbI wouldn't be
I would be a Bbrich man with a crib on a big hill (ha forreal)
But I gotta Bbmwork to get paid
GbEarn my own way
Work the third sDbhift, burn the whole spliff
Since bBbmirth I (Hold up, let me get it)
Look, fGbailure was not an option, I gotta be at the top
Like I'm sBbmorry, but I don't really fGbeel sorry for y'all
I'm sorry I got a new number that Dbyou can't call
I'm sBbmorry to everyone who sGbtill wants me to fall
Hold up, you know what, I ain't soDbrry at all
[Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly]
So BbmI, hope that it was wEbmorth it when you searching
And you findwhat glitters ain't gDbold
And BbmI, knew I wasn't perEbmfect but I know that I made it all on my own
[Chorus: James Arthur]
You could get Bbmhigh or you could get Gblow
You could stay young or you could grow Dbold
Let it gBbmo (OoGboh)
'Cause I'ma I'ma go for brDboke
You could go hAbmard or you could go hGbome
You could live life or you could just foDbld
Let it gBbmo (OoGboh)
'Cause I'ma I'ma go for brDboke
[Bridge: James Arthur]
EbmPaid my dues, so I'll see you lGbater
DbLove is much more than paper
So I lGbet it go, I just hit the road, I just Dblet it go
Yeah, pBbmaid my dues so I see you laGbter
DbLove is much more than paper
So Gblet it go, I just hit the road, I just lDbet it go
[Chorus: James Arthur]
You could get Bbmhigh or you could get Gblow
You could stay young or you could grow Dbold
Let it gBbmo (OoGboh)
'Cause I'ma I'ma go for brDboke
You could go hAbmard or you could go hGbome
You could live life or you could just foDbld
Let it gBbmo (OoGboh)
'Cause I'ma I'ma go for brDboke
