[Verse]
C
They call me the greatest
Dm
'Cause I'm not very good
                     F        F6
And they're being sarcastic
                 G      G#dim
They're being sarcastic
               Am
Oh, I'm taking names
But I'm not doing much
C
With the names that I'm taking
F
G-O-A-T
              Dm        Dm7
They're being sarcastic
                 C
They're being sarcastic
[Verse]
C
They call me the greatest
Dm
But those cheers can be quiet
F                F6
So I listen close
         G     G#dim
I listen close
               Am
Yes I'm taking notes
But those notes aren't helping
C
The ink washes away
F
G-O-A-T
           Dm     Dm7
It washes away
           C
It washes away
