[Intro]
Gm D# Cm
And if I must go and die at 27
Gm D# Cm
Then at least I know I died a legend
Gm D# Cm
Now, will you roll and ride like we're together?
A# F#
And keep the vibe alive inside forever
Cm
And feel me forever
Gm D# Cm
Gm D# Cm
Gm
Gm D# Cm
They say I need to slow down, but I don't know how
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Gm D#
Real feelings from past dealings
Cm
When people counted me out 'til I grew up to count millions, uh
Gm D# Cm
Like I guess it's good to be different, huh?
I'm a star so the sky isn't the limit, huh?
Gm D#
I'm living like it's my last day
Cm
Smoke as if there's not already 27 roaches in the ashtray
Gm D#
Smile as if no one hated at all
Cm
As if anyone understood anytime I evolved
Gm D#
Tell me what do you do when your dreams come true?
Cm
Buy a Bentley and look just like you?
Gm D#
How am I supposed to write a song when I'm famous
Cm
And all the pain is created?
I need to overdose on inspiration
27
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm D# Cm
Gm D# Cm
Why don't you just go home?
Gm D# Cm
Well, I can't right now, I'm a rolling stone
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Gm D# Cm
And if I must go, and fly away
Gm D# Cm
And kiss my baby girl goodnight
Gm D# Cm
And if this really is goodbye
Gm D# Cm
Then let's set the city on fire
Gm D# Cm
Can you take me higher?
Gm D# Cm
Now, can you take me higher?
Gm D# Cm
Now, can you take me higher?
Gm D# Cm
Can you take me higher?
[Post-Chorus]
Gm D# Cm
If I must go, die at 27
Gm D# Cm
Then at least I know I died a legend
Gm D# Cm
Will you roll and ride like we're together?
Gm D# Cm
And keep the vibe alive forever
Gm D# Cm
Keep the vibe alive forever
Gm D# Cm
If I must go, die at 27
Gm D# Cm
Then at least I know I died a legend
Gm D# Cm
Will you roll and ride like we're together?
Gm D# Cm
And keep the vibe alive forever
Gm D# Cm
Keep the vibe alive forever
[Outro]
Gm D# Cm
I let these words seep through my soul
And speak through the song
Gm D# Cm
'Cause if one day, I'm no longer here in the physical
Gm D# Cm
Then at least I give you my voice to listen to
Gm D# Cm
What is a beautiful life without a beautiful death?
Gm D# Cm
What is a beautiful mind, how is our beauty defined?
Gm D#
Is it for you to decide, is it my duty to die?
Cm Gm
No matter how I'm remembered, just let me be remembered
Kells
D#
Yeah, forever young, though
Cm
Always be those crazy kids running wide-eyed down the boulevard
27, Bloom
