VERSE:
(These 8 bars are the basic round repeated for the verse and pre-Chorus.)
||: F#maj7 | A/B | Emaj7 | Amaj7 |
| F#maj7 | A/B | Emaj7 | C#7(no3) :||
"The best song wasn't the single, but you weren't either
Living in Ladera Heights, the black Beverly Hills
Domesticated paradise, palm trees and pools
The water's blue, swallow the pill
Keeping it surreal, whatever you like
Whatever feels good, whatever takes you mountain high
Keeping it surreal, not sugar-free, my TV ain't HD, that's too real
Grapevine, mango, peaches, and limes, the sweet life
PRE-CHORUS:
(From here and on a piano is also adding those additional top-notes,
making the total chord names seem a bit more fancy-extended.)
| F#maj9 | Amaj7/B | Emaj9 | Amaj9 |
| F#maj9 | Amaj7/B | Emaj9 | C#7(no3) |
"The sweet life, sweet life
Sweet life, sweet life
The sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet life
Sweet life, the sweet life
Sweetie pie
CHORUS:
||: F#maj9 | Amaj7/B | Emaj9 | Amaj9 :||
"You've had a landscaper and a house keeper since you were born
The star shine always kept you warm
So why see the world, when you got the beach
Don't know, why see the world, when you got the beach
The sweet life
VERSE:
"The best song wasn't the single, but you couldn't turn your radio down
Satellite need a receiver, can't seem to turn the signal fully off
Transmitting the waves
You're catching that breeze 'til you're dead in the grave
But you're keeping it surreal, whatever you like
Whatever feels good, whatever takes you mountain high
Keeping it surreal, not sugar-free, my TV ain't HD, that's too real
Grapevines, mango, peaches, and lime, a sweet life
PRE-CHORUS:
"A sweet life
A sweet life, yeah
A sweet life, a sweet life
A sweet life
Live and die in the life
CHORUS:
"You've had a landscaper and a house keeper since you were born, yeah
The star shine always kept you warm
So why see the world, when you got the beach
Don't know, why see the world, when you got the beach
BRIDGE:
||: C#maj9 | C#m7 | Bmaj7 | A#m7 :||
"And the water is exactly what I wanted
It's everything I thought it would be (Thought it would be)
But this neighborhood is getting trippier every day
The neighborhood is going ape shit crazy
CHORUS:
"You've had a landscaper and a house keeper since you were born
The star shine always kept you warm
So why see the world, when you got the beach
Don't know why see the world, when you got the beach
The sweet life
