Dm 
All this trouble in this here town 
Dm                   Gm 
All this shit going down 
               Eb     Bb 
When will they focus, on this? 
Dm 
Streets ride up with the TV crews 
Look ma, we on the news 
    Gm            Eb      Bb 
But they didn't notice, before this 
                      Gm 
They float above the city lights 
                    Dm 
Forget the truth, inhale the lies 
Bb              Eb 
Just enjoy the show 
      Gm 
They see us reaching for the sky 
  Bb 
Just ignore that you survive

Dm 
All that bubbly, all that wine 
Oh man, look at the times 
              Ab     Bb 
Didn't they notice, notice? 
            Dm 
Only future I can see, ain't what it used to be 
               Eb                  Bb 
And I didn't know this, I didn't know this 
Bb 
Once you're above the city lights 
                                     Eb 
Won't want to spend another night, down there on your own 
Gm                   Bb 
The whole world on display for us 
F               Gm              Bb 
The altitude is dangerous, but we ain't going home

Can't keep us out no more (let's go, let's go, let's go)

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 
        F 
What a dress, what a song 
          Bb 
What a beautiful time 
   F                      Bb 
My folks downstairs still waitin' in line 
They never been in these rooms 
Never stayed with these folks 
F                                 Bb 
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 
         Eb                       Bb 
I wanna get there babe, I wanna elevate 
Bb                             Gm 
Oh my favorite mix, a little ignorance and bliss 
          Eb                       Bb 
In the penthouse babe, go to the penthouse 


                      Bb         Gm 
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go) 
F                      Eb

                   Bb                                  Cm 
Let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for 
                       Ab 
We'll tear down those penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go) 
                 Eb 
Those penthouse doors 
             Gb          Bb 
We'll tear down the penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go) 
                            Bb 
Baby, I'm in the penthouse floor 
Eb            Ab            Bb 
Baby, let's ride the elevator 
Til we can rise some more 
                     Eb 
Go to the penthouse floor, penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
