[Intro]
E5* 
I'm from the future
E5* 
That's the last thing they'll hear me say
E5* 
As I begin to uncontrollably shake
E5* 
So please allow me to shed some darkness
E5* 
Step into a summer time zone, oh
E5* 
I don't care if you people like me
E5* 
It won't make a difference if you don't
[Verse 1]
                       E5*        D5  C5  
Cause I'm gonna tighten up
           G5  E5*                  D5  C5  
My circle as soon as I get some real money
            G5  E5*           D5         C5  G5  
So enjoy this Mr. Big Spender side of me

A cult of happy people
      E5*              D5  C5  
Who I will have to kill eventually
       G5  E5*              D5        C5  G5  
For they know not what they know
