Lyrics

Woke up in Lon don yes ter day, found my self in the cit y near Pic ca (Em)dil ly.

Don’t real ly know how I got here, I got some pic tures on my phone.

New names and num bers that I don’t (C)know, ad dress to plac es like Ab bey (Em)Road.

Day turns to night, night turns to what (D)ev er we want.

We’re young e nough to say...

(G)Oh, this has got ta be good life.

This has got ta be good life.

This could real ly be a good life, good life.

I say, (G)oh, got this feel in’ that you can’t fight, like this cit y is on fire to night.

This could real ly be a good life, a good, good life.

(C)oh,

(Em)oh.)

To my friends in New York, I say hel (C)lo.

My friends in L.

A., they don’t know where I’ve been for the past few years or so, Par is to Chi na to Col o rad (G)o.

Some times there’s air planes I can’t jump (C)out.

Some times there’s bull sh** that don’t work (Em)now.

We all got our sto ries.

But please, tell (D)me e e e what there’s to com plain a bout.

When you’re hap py like a fool,

let it take you o ver.

When ev ’ry thing is out,

you got ta take it in.

A good, good life.

(C)oh,

(Em)oh.)

Hope less (CN.C.)ly I feel like there might be some thin’ that I’ll miss.

Hope less ly I feel like the win dow clos es so, so quick.

Hope less ly I’m tak ing a men tal pic ture of you now, ’cause hope less ly the hope is we have so much to feel good a bout.

(G)Oh, this has got ta be good life.

This has got ta be good life.

This could real ly be a good life, good life.

I say, (G)oh, got this feel in’ that you can’t fight, like this cit y is on fire to night.

This could real ly be a good life, a good, good life.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
