Forget the truth, inhale the lies

Penthouse floor
Bb Eb Bb Ab [Verse 3: Chance The Rapper] I heard this old joke once, it was like, uh
F            Bb
Knock knock, who there, it's us, us who?

                        Bb
Just us, who dis? Just playin'
Just me, new phone, new hair, new era I'm in the penthouse, baby
Bb                                 Dm
Handpicked from bad apples and bad eggs
Held back, I had to grab crab legs
Bb
And then there were only but a few

Ab                         Bb
Conversations held with patience, what a party, what a view

What a dress, what a song

My folks downstairs still waitin' in line
They never been in these rooms Never stayed with these folks

Never laughed at the news, never hated these jokes

Cm                                     Dm
So as I fly in my suit, in a group, undercover

                          Gm
Forcin' a new smile, he tells me another

                                         Bb
He said "What happened to the boy that climbed up the trunk?"
Then he pushed me off the top and said "Jump, nigga, jump!" [Bridge: John Legend]
Bb                                 Bb
Oh don’t bring me down I need a room up in the clouds

I wanna get there babe, I wanna elevate

Oh my favorite mix, a little ignorance and bliss
