INTRO
C / G / | Dm / F / | (2X)
VERSE 1
 C G
When I was just a kid
Dm F C G
 I dreamed about the life I’d live
Dm F C G
 Buy fancy cars and a new crib
Dm F C G
 And cruise around with all my friends, all my
Dm F
friends
 C G
But I been waking up
Dm F C G
 And realizing all those things
Dm F C G
 Look so much different through a screen
Dm F C G
 That type of life ain’t what it seems
 Dm F
Isn't what it seems
PRE-CHORUS
 C G Dm F
The designer bags are not all bad
 C G Dm F
But I’ll never find my worth in that
CHORUS
C Dm
I
 F
Don’t need
 C Dm F
A bunch of money, clothes and diamond rings
 C Dm
To be
 F
Happy
 C Dm
Cause all the best things in life are free
 F F
So give me the simple things
INSTRUMENTAL
C / G / | Dm / F / | (2X)
VERSE 2
 C G
People might say
Dm F C G
 There's a game you gotta play
Dm F C G
 Just play along and you’ll get paid
Dm F C G Dm F
 But I refuse to be a slave, to be a slave
 G
I’m just gonna be me
Dm F C G
 Love all the weird things on my skin
Dm F C G
 My crooked smile my lazy grin
Dm F C G
 I’m throwing caution to the wind
 Dm F
To the wind

PRE-CHORUS 2
 C G Dm F
Cause what's popular don’t always last
 C G Dm F
I’m okay with being the outcast
