[Verse 1: John Legend]
Dm
All this trouble in this here town
Dm Gm
All this shit going down
Eb Bb
When will they focus, on this?
Dm
Streets ride up with the TV crews
Look ma, we on the news
Gm Eb Bb
But they didn't notice, before this
Gm
They float above the city lights
Dm
Forget the truth, inhale the lies
Bb Eb
Just enjoy the show
Gm
They see us reaching for the sky
Bb
Just ignore that you survive
[Chorus: John Legend]
Bb Ebm
Maybe we should go
Bb Gm F
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
F Eb F
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Bb Gm
Let's ride the elevator, they can't keep us out no more
Eb
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Penthouse floor
F Dm
[Verse 2: John Legend]
Dm
All that bubbly, all that wine
Oh man, look at the times
Ab Bb
Didn't they notice, notice?
Dm
Only future I can see, ain't what it used to be
Eb Bb
And I didn't know this, I didn't know this
Bb
Once you're above the city lights
Eb
Won't want to spend another night, down there on your own
Gm Bb
The whole world on display for us
F Gm Bb
The altitude is dangerous, but we ain't going home
[Chorus: John Legend]
Bb
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Eb
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Bb F Bb
Let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for

[Verse 3: Chance The Rapper]
I heard this old joke once, it was like, uh
F Bb
Knock knock, who there, it's us, us who?
Bb
Just us, who dis? Just playin'
Just me, new phone, new hair, new era
I'm in the penthouse, baby
Bb Dm
Handpicked from bad apples and bad eggs
Held back, I had to grab crab legs
Bb
And then there were only but a few
Ab Bb
Conversations held with patience, what a party, what a view
F
What a dress, what a song
Bb
What a beautiful time
F Bb
My folks downstairs still waitin' in line
They never been in these rooms
Never stayed with these folks
F Bb
Never laughed at the news, never hated these jokes
Cm Dm
So as I fly in my suit, in a group, undercover
Gm
Forcin' a new smile, he tells me another
Bb
He said "What happened to the boy that climbed up the trunk?"
Then he pushed me off the top and said "Jump, nigga, jump!"
[Bridge: John Legend]
Bb Bb
Oh don’t bring me down I need a room up in the clouds
Eb Bb
I wanna get there babe, I wanna elevate
Bb Gm
Oh my favorite mix, a little ignorance and bliss
Eb Bb
In the penthouse babe, go to the penthouse
[Chorus: John Legend]
Bb Gm
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
F Eb
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Bb Cm
Let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for
Ab
We'll tear down those penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Eb
Those penthouse doors
Gb Bb
We'll tear down the penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Bb
Baby, I'm in the penthouse floor
Eb Ab Bb
Baby, let's ride the elevator
Til we can rise some more
Eb
Go to the penthouse floor, penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
