Verse:
  Gm                 F
Sweet life livin', pools and swimming.
  Dm                Eb
Drinks in bars and boys in cars and
 Gm                F

  Dm                 Eb
shooting stars with fat cigars and...
 
Pre-chorus:
      Gm                        F

  Dm                             Eb
Flashes filling the silence of a Hollywood love affair.
 Gm                      F
Waking up in the islands, 'cause I saw you there,
Dm
lost and trying to be...
 
Chorus:
                      Gm
I was just tryna to be cool,
F                          Bb   Eb
I was just tryna to be like you.
                      Gm
I'm a spark and you're a boom,
F                     Bb   Eb
what am I supposed to do?

Gm               F              Dm             Eb
Mansion debut, love it, do you? G#sent father pays his daughter,
      Gm                        F
and her mama withdrew from the life they once knew.
Dm                       Eb
She had a heart but she sold it off for.

When I've got that cigarrete smoke and Saint Laurent coat,
    F                             Bb
But nothing is feeling right, I drink but I choke,
                     Eb                          Eb
