[Intro]
C
C'mon
[Verse 1]
Baby we could go,
Back to the basics.
Am
Trailer park love,
Am
Wearing them ASICS,
And gold.
C
I can speak Spanish,
You can sing for the neighbours,
Am
You've been pretty stupid,
Ever since you got famous.
[Pre-chorus 1]
F
Uh-oh, uh-oh, wrong side,
of the tracks, boy.
Am
Uh-oh, uh-oh, if only,
We'd go back, boy.
F
'Cause nobody does it like you,
I like the way that you move,
D4
That's why I never go through,
G
With leaving you.
[Chorus]
C
Everybody's sayin' that,
You're not good for me.
Am
Your friends all swear,
That you've changed but,
I still keep it O.G.
F
This tune could be a reminder,
of how it all used to be.
G
So shut up, and come on,
Sing our song.
F
And let's go back to the basics.
Am
Let's go back to the basics, baby.

Back to the basics,
When you're not wasted,
G
I know you'll see.
[Verse 2]
C
Baby we could go,
Back to the basics, (c'mon),
Am
We were best friends,
Am
Crazy and shameless in love.

You can mow the lawn for money,
I can make you playlists.
Am
You bought me dime packs,
Felt like we were famous.
[Pre-chorus 2]
F
Uh-oh, uh-oh, best I,
Ever had boy.
Am
Uh-oh, uh-oh, can you,
Remember that, boy?
F
Nobody knew what we knew,
We had it figured out too,
G
Us against the world just,
Me and you (ooh-ooh!)
[Chorus]

Everybody's sayin' that,
You're not good for me.

Your friends all swear,
That you've changed but,
I still keep it O.G.

Sing our song.

And let's go back to the basics.

Let's go back to the basics, baby.

Back to the basics,
When you're not wasted,
G
I know you'll see.
[Bridge]
Dm C
We could drive forever, my baby,
F Am Dm
We could leave it all and never look back.
C
If you wanted heaven, baby,
Bb G
Sit back in my pink Cadillac.
[Chorus] (soft strumming down, build up on the second G then mute,
you'll know how to do it, just listen to the song)
