[Verse 1]
Am7D7sus2FC
It's been a while since I went and wrote a song like this
Am7D7sus2FC
Take a good four chords, let 'em loop as is
Am7D7sus2
And if it still got soul then I realize
FCD7sus2
It still feels good when you simplify
Am7D7sus2FCAm7D7sus2FC
'Cause I've been waiting for a while for a shot like this
Am7D7sus2FC
But another near hit is another near miss
Am7D7sus2
And I can smell the smoke, but it's no cigar
[Pre-Chorus]
FC
I feel so close, yet I feel so far
Am7D7sus2FC
And I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms, uh (Hey)
[Chorus]
Am7D7sus2FC
These false alarms
Am7D7sus2FC
Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms
[Verse 2]
N.C. (Am7) D7sus2 F C
It's been a while since I wеnt and wrote a song like this
Am7D7sus2FC
I let thе music speak not the publicist (Ooh)
Am7D7sus2
And the dream is big, but the van is small
[Pre-Chorus]
FC
So give the keys and I'll give my heart
Am7D7sus2FC
'Cause I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms, uh (Hey)
[Chorus]
Am7D7sus2FC
Oh, these false alarms
Am7D7sus2FC
I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (These false alarms)
Am7D7sus2FC
(Hey) Oh, these false alarms
Am7D7sus2FC
Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms
[Verse 3]
Am7D7sus2
Clyde and Gracie sent a song across my desk and then
FC
They asked if I can shine some light, they'd hold a deer like venison
Am7D7sus2
I'm not no Edison, my club don't got no membership
FC
But I could use my penmanship to drop a couple gems and shit
Am7D7sus2
My fries come with some nuggets in my old age
FC
Couple grains of salt, I got some Goya and some Old Bay
Am7D7sus2
I wrote a couple hits on the piano in my foyer
FC
Labels try to holla for my bread, I tell them, "Oy vey"
Am7D7sus2
Make sure you keep your masters, so these assholes don't get shopping sprees
FC
Fame is overrated and Live Nation's a monopoly
Am7D7sus2
Don't ever stress the credit if your check comes with the royalties
FC
And hype is something someone needs when fans can't give you loyalty
Am7D7sus2
Every mistake I made is like an institute
FC
Y'all can be the two-point-oh, I'll say it in my interviews
Am7D7sus2
I had to pick a single thing, the only thing I'm giving you
FC
Keep one foot in the future and the other in the living room, wow (Aah)
[Chorus]
N.C. (Am7) D7sus2 F C
It's been a while since I went and wrote a song like this (It's been a while, it's been a while)
Am7D7sus2FC
And yeah, I've knocked a few things off my bucket list (Ooh)
Am7D7sus2
And I can feel my patience wearing thin
FC
Now it's barely up or it's barely in
Am7D7sus2FC
Now I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (Don't you know now)
Am7D7sus2FC
Yes, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (Oh) (Hey, hey)
[Outro]
Am7D7sus2FC
Oh, these false alarms (These false alarms)
Am7D7sus2FC
Yes, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms
Am7D7sus2FC
Na-na-na-na-na (Hey,hey), these false alarms
Am7D7sus2FC
Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms
