[Intro]
G B7 Em C-D-G
[Verse]
G B7 Em G7
The years are going by so fast, it really is bewilderin
C Cm G D
And we ll be so-called grown-ups and have mortgages and children
G B7 Em G7
I hope we all gain worldliness, and wisdom, and maturity
C Cm G D
But I hope most of all that MySpace falls into obscurity
G B7 Em G7
I hope our profiles all go dead, entombed in distant servers
C Cm G D
A monument to our youth, though lacking its observers
G B7 Em G7
Your page will be an empty shell, when no one is behind it
C Cm G D
I hope your MySpace stays forever, and I hope that your kids find it
[Chorus]
G A
How I hope that you forget about your MySpace
C Cm
I hope it slips completely from your mind
G A C Cm
And I hope it stays up long enough for the next generation to find
G A
And I hope that it embarasses your children
C Cm
I hope their bratty friends all forward it around
G B7 Em
And I hope that you forget your password
A C G
So you cannot take it down
[Verse]
G B7 Em G7
If your kids think you re vaguely square, it will be so much clearer
C Cm G D
When they laugh at the pictures you took in your bathroom mirror
G B7 Em G7
they will not know your favorite band or any of the others.
C Cm G D
Who is this Soulja Boy you reference, who's the Jonas brothers?
G B7
They ll marvel at how old you are
Em G7
They ll rofl at your outfits
C Cm G D
Your style may pass as vintage in the future, though I doubt it
[Chorus]
G A
How I hope that you forget about your MySpace
C Cm
I hope it slips completely from your mind
G A C Cm
And I hope it stays up long enough for the next generation to find
G A
And I hope that it embarasses your children
C Cm
I hope their bratty friends all forward it around
G B7 Em
And I hope that you forget your password
A C G
So you cannot take it down
[Verse]
Em G
I hope your cynical kids say, Holy crap this is great!
A Am D
These comments date all the way back to 2008!
Em G
I hope they dig through your pictures and find some we might call compromising
A Am D
I hope seeing their mom in a swimsuit & smoking a hookah, isnt too traumatising
C G
But it will be past their comprehension
B7 C Cm
They ll ask did grandpa not give you enough attention?
G A C Cm G-B7-Em A Cm
G A C Cm G-B7-Em A C-G
And who the hell is Tom that guys knows everyone!
[Chorus]
G B7 Em G7 C Cm G D
G A
How I hope that you forget about your MySpace
C Cm
I hope it slips completely from your mind
G A C Cm
And I hope it stays up long enough for the next generation to find
G A
And I hope that it will humble you forever
C Cm
I hope your kids wont let you live it down
G B7 Em
And I hope that you forget your password
A C G
So you cannot take it down
G B7 Em G7
They might go through your top 8 friends, read your comments at the most
C Cm D G
I only wish that they could see, the inane bulletins you post
