Let me tell you a little story of how I got my attitude
When I moved to Manhattan, I hadn't even finished school
I was working so hard just to pay those bills and stay there
I had my own agenda, no one even really cared
G*                                    Am    F  G*
Time was running out, I had to make a move
G*                                    Am    F    C  F  
So I picked up the bass guitar and I played it cool
F* F*  F/ F* F*  F/  F   F   C/  F   F  C  
A couple of years later, I'm living in Paris, France
Hanging out with DJs, following the latest fads
I was working so hard just to figure out the clothes and the hair
Tried so hard not to show it, I walked with my nose in the air
G*                                    Am    F  G*
The French didn't want me around, they didn't like my groove
G*                                    Am    F    C  F  
So I packed up my bass guitar and moved to Hollywood
