Alright guys, this is probably one of the easiest songs ever, I promise!
It's F# and B throughout the entire thing.  I put a capo on the 2nd and just play A and E.
F#What happened Bto the good time F#music?
I Bdon't wanna sing about dark F#things
Wanna see Bwhat the sunshine can F#bring
I don't wanna Blove, I wanna have a F#fling
Hey, maybe I can be a presidente
Spread love around the country
You can get sick of shit
But shit will never get sick of you
I'll smoke as long as my birthdays pass
As long as my paychecks last
As long as I can't relax
I'm so far between
I can buy you flowers
And I can make you scream.
I can be nice, yes, I can be mean
I can do you dirty and I can do you clean
I spoiled you with the sunshine
How you never really got to see the rain
How you still complain
Maybe you should smoke a joint to your brain
I'll smoke as long as my birthdays pass
As long as my paychecks last
As long as I can't relax
[At this part, it just plays F# and builds up]
F#What happened to the good time music?
F#What happened to the good time music?
F# [and get louder]
I don't wear nice shoes or treat people like glass
I break all of them by throwing sunshine in their eyes.
I'll smoke as long as my birthdays pass
As long as my paychecks last
As long as I can't relax
