verse 1 
     C                          Em 
Its nice   They say to be the best one 
                            Am                      F 
They teach you not to rest on one,    I have to, say 
       C                            Em 
And I find your ways,  Its cool to have those days 
           Am                      F 
where you do nothing,    will you do nothing, 
F 
oh no no- 

Chorus 
C5,    C5,    C5,
 
                C5     A 
Cause when I'm older,   you'll wanna be me someday 
  C5                          A 
And I don't care to know,  Why all of them have to say 
  C5                         A 
Cause when you do good,  they always wanna get paid, 
  C5                       A                           C5 
I don't care to know,  why all of them have their ways, 
C5 
ways, ways, ways, ways
