Hop to Another SongF#maj7Live the American dream with C#maj7billboards picturin’ me,
my Fm7name on Hollywood F#maj7Boulevard. (I want it so much)
LA state of mind, I’m C#maj7never satisfied,
cuz Fm7I want number one, doesn’t F#maj7everyone?
(want it so much, much)
So, F#maj7I was up late the other night,
comparin’ myself to others’ C#maj7lives,
scrollin’ up and down my phone –
what does she have that I don’t?
Fm7 My dreams so big, they’re supersize,
I chase them like I chase the light,
I could live a simple life…
But that’s the thing with the amC#bition, (want it so much)
A#m everythin’s a compeF#tition. (so out of touch)
Yeh it got me a D#mlot but that’s not good enough – C#
I wanna be G#lo-lo-loved.
I live and learn the C#hard way, (want it so much) A#m
yeh it’s a chronic F#heartbreak. (so out of touch)
No it never D#mstops,
I wanna be your C#star,
I wanna be G#lo-lo-loved.
Lo-lC#oved, loved, lo-o-Fmoved…
F#maj7Raised on validation,
C#maj7consumed by aspiration,
Fm7numbers meanin’ more than words
but F#maj7what’s it worth? (what you gonna do – it’s human nature)
F#maj7 Millions of people listenin’,
so driven, couldn’t live in it,
C#maj7 didn’t appreciate it then,
wish I could go back again.
Fm7 My dreams so big, they’re supersize,
I chase them like I chase the light,
F#maj7 I could live a simple life…
But that’s the thing with the amC#bition, (want it so much)
A#m everythin’s a compeF#tition. (so out of touch)
Yeh it got me a D#mlot but that’s not good enough – C#
I wanna be G#lo-lo-loved.
I live and learn the C#hard way, (want it so much) A#m
yeh it’s a chronic F#heartbreak. (so out of touch)
No it never D#mstops,
I wanna be your C#star,
I wanna be G#lo-lo-loved.
See, I’ve been C#doin’ this long eA#mnough to be scarred from what I F#learned before,
but that D#mdoesn’t mean I wanna C#stop wanting more and G#more.
I try to C#push it away
but at the A#mend of the day
it’s the F#world to me.
I’ll keep breakin’ my D#mheart
if I can be your C#star
if I can be G#lo-lo-loved…
That’s the thing with the amC#bition, (want it so much)
A#m everythin’s a compeF#tition. (so out of touch)
Yeh it got me a D#mlot but that’s not good enough – C#
I wanna be G#lo-lo-loved.
I live and learn the C#hard way, (want it so much) A#m
yeh it’s a chronic F#heartbreak. (so out of touch)
No it never D#mstops,
I wanna be your C#star,
I wanna be G#lo-lo-loved.
Lo-C#maj7loved, loved, A#m lo-o-oved…F#
