  I' m doing good, I' m on some new shit

  Been saying "yes" instead of "no"
F     C                                                F                 C

  We never painted by the numbers, baby
     C  
But we were making it count

Would everything be  different today?

    We were something, don' t you think so?
F     C                                         Dm7  
    Rosé  flowing with your chosen family
C  
And it would' ve been sweet
Dm7  C  
     If it could' ve been me
Am    C  
         In my defense, I have none
F     C                                             Dm7
