[chorus]
You could get [Am]high or you could [F]get low, you could stay young or you could grow [C]old
Let it [Am]go [F](Oooh), ’cause I’ma I’ma go for [C]broke
You could go [Gm]hard or you could go [F]home, you could live life or you could just [C]fold
Let it [Am]go [F](Oooh), ’cause I’ma I’ma go for [C]broke

[Opening]
[F]Look, I started with a dollar and a dream, [Fm]right
So I could show these people how to [A]dream, right, [F]I could show ’em how to aim for the stars
And take it to the arenas from the [Fm]streetlights, [F]damn, oh this is what the top feels like? [Fm](Whoa)
I still remember Ramen noodle meal [A]nights, [F]I still remember checkin’ my account
And [Fm]having 26 dollars, when I signed my record deal night
[A]And I remember [F]being cold, and my apartment used to heat up from the [C]kitchen stove
Highs and [Am]Lows, it’s how it goes, so I [F]gotta roll something up
Just to cope with the pressures of growing [C]up, man

[verse 2]
[C]What a [F]week, we made it to the bar ’cause we need to [C]heal up
You gotta play for [Am][F]keeps, ’cause aces tend to stay with [C]dealers
You got to believe [F]it, but I’m a sinner too so I ain’t [C]preaching
Just keep on [G] [F]dreaming, ’cause all the bad [Dm]days come for good reasons

[chorus]
You could get [Am]high or you could [F]get low, you could stay young or you could grow [C]old
Let it [Am]go [F](Oooh), ’cause I’ma I’ma go for [C]broke
You could go [Gm]hard or you could go [F]home, you could live life or you could just [C]fold
Let it [Am]go [F](Oooh) ’cause I’ma I’ma go for [C]broke

[verse 3]
[F]Yeah, and if I had a dollar, for [Dm]every time they told me [C]what I wouldn’t be
I would be a [A]rich man with a crib on a big hill (ha for real)
But I gotta [Am]work to get paid, [F]earn my own way
Work the third [C]shift, burn the whole spliff, since [Am]birth I (Hold up, let me get it)
Look, [F]failure was not an option, I gotta be at the top
Like I’m [Am]sorry, but I don’t really [F]feel sorry for y’all
I’m sorry I got a new number that [C]you can’t call,
I’m [Am]sorry to everyone who [F]still wants me to fall, hold up, you know what, I ain’t [C]sorry at all

[verse 4]
So [Am]I, hope that it was [Dm]worth it when you searching, and you find what glitters ain’t [C]gold
[Am]And I, knew I wasn’t [Dm]perfect but, I know that I made it all on my own

[chorus]
You could get [Am]high or you could [F]get low, you could stay young or you could grow [C]old
Let it [Am]go [F](Oooh), ’cause I’ma I’ma go for [C]broke
You could go [Gm]hard or you could go [F]home, you could live life or you could just [C]fold
Let it [Am]go [F](Oooh), ’cause I’ma I’ma go for [C]broke

[Closing]
[Dm]Paid my dues, so I’ll see you [F]later, [C]love is much more than paper
So I [F]let it go, I just hit the road, I [C]just let it go
Yeah, [Am]paid my dues so I see you [F]later, [C]love is much more than paper
So [F]let it go, I just hit the road, I just [C]let it go

[chorus]
You could get [Am]high or you could [F]get low, you could stay young or you could grow [C]old
Let it [Am]go [F](Oooh), ’cause I’ma I’ma go for [C]broke
You could go [Gm]hard or you could go [F]home, you could live life or you could just [C]fold
Let it [Am]go [F](Oooh), ’cause I’ma I’ma go for [C]broke
