[Verse 1: John Legend]
DmAll this trouble in this here town
DmAll this shit going dGmown
When will they Ebfocus, Bbon this?
DmStreets ride up with the TV crews
Look ma, we on the news
But Gmthey didn't noEbtice, beBbfore this
They float above the cGmity lights
Forget the truth, inDmhale the lies
BbJust enjoy the sEbhow
They sGmee us reaching for the sky
JuBbst ignore that you survive
[Chorus: John Legend]
BbMaybe we should goEbm  
BbGo to the penthouse Gmfloor (let's go, let's go, let's gFo)
FGo to the penthouse fEbloor (let's go, let's go, let's Fgo)
Let's ride the elBbevator, they can't keep us out no moGmre
Go to the penthouse fEbloor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Penthouse floor
F Dm
[Verse 2: John Legend]
DmAll that bubbly, all that wine
Oh man, look at the times
Didn't they noAbtice, nBbotice?
Only future DmI can see, ain't what it used to be
And I didn't knEbow this, I didn't knBbow this
BbOnce you're above the city lights
Won't want to spend another night, doEbwn there on your own
GmThe whole world on diBbsplay for us
FThe altitude is Gmdangerous, but wBbe ain't going home
[Chorus: John Legend]
Go to the penthouse flBboor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Go to the penthouse floEbor (let's go, let's go, let's go)

[Verse 3: Chance The Rapper]
I heard this old joke once, it was like, uh
FKnock knock, Bbwho there, it's us, us who?
Just us, who dis? Just pBblayin'
Just me, new phone, new hair, new era
I'm in the penthouse, baby
BbHandpicked from bad apples and bad Dmeggs
Held back, I had to grab crab legs
BbAnd then there were only but a few
AbConversations held with patBbience, what a party, what a view
What a dFress, what a song
What a beaBbutiful time
My Ffolks downstairs still Bbwaitin' in line
They never been in these rooms
Never stayed with these folks
FNever laughed at the news, never hBbated these jokes
CmSo as I fly in my suit, in a group, undDmercover
Forcin' a new smile, he teGmlls me another
He said "What happened to the boy that clBbimbed up the trunk?"
Then he pushed me off the top and said "Jump, nigga, jump!"
[Bridge: John Legend]
BbOh don’t bring me down I need a rooBbm up in the clouds
I wanna gEbet there babe, I wanna elBbevate
BbOh my favorite mix, a little igGmnorance and bliss
In the penEbthouse babe, go to the peBbnthouse
[Chorus: John Legend]
Go to the penthouse flBboor (let's Gmgo, let's go, let's go)
FGo to the penthouse floEbor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Let's ride the elevBbator, it's what we've been waiting fCmor
We'll tear down those pAbenthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Those penthouse dEboors
We'll tear doGbwn the penthBbouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Baby, I'm in the penthouse fBbloor
EbBaby, let's riAbde the elevatoBbr
Til we can rise some more
Go to the penthouse fEbloor, penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)

My folks downstairs still waitin' in line

So as I fly in my suit, in a group, undercover

Forcin' a new smile, he tells me another

He said "What happened to the boy that climbed up the trunk?"

Then he pushed me off the top and said "Jump, nigga, jump!"
