[Intro]
 
C Am Em x4
C F  Am x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
C            Am          Em
Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
C           Am           Em
Feelin' lit feelin' like 2 a.m. summer night
C             F                  Am
I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I’m doin' my thing
C                  F            Am
Rollin the midwest side and out livin' my life gettin' out dreams
C              Am           Em
People told me slow my road I'm screaming out fuck that
C             Am          Em
Im'ma do just what I want lookin' ahead no turnin' back
C         F        Am
If I fall if I die know I lived it to the fullest
C         F        Am
If I fall if I die know I lived and missed some bullets
 
 
[Chorus]
C             Am      Em
I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know 
C               Am           Em
Everything that shines ain’t always gonna be gold,
C     F           Am
hey,  I’ll be fine    once I get it
C   F            Am
    I’ll be goo-ood
C             Am      Em
I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know 
C               Am           Em
Everything that shines ain’t always gonna be gold,
C     F           Am
hey,  I’ll be fine    once I get it
C   F            Am
    I’ll be goo-ood
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                Am                  Em
Tell me what you know about dreamin' dreamin'
C                Am                 Em
You don’t really know about nothin' nothin'
C                F              Am
Tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
C      F           Am
5 a.m. cold sweats wakin' up to the skies
C                Am         Em
Tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
C                Am         Em
Tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin'
C                F              Am
You don’t really care about the trials of tomorrow
C           F         Am
Rather lay awake in a path full of sorrow
 
 
[Chorus]
C             Am      Em
I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know 
C               Am           Em
Everything that shines ain’t always gonna be gold,
C     F           Am
hey,  I’ll be fine    once I get it
C   F            Am
    I’ll be goo-ood
C             Am      Em
I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know 
C               Am           Em
Everything that shines ain’t always gonna be gold,
C     F           Am
hey,  I’ll be fine    once I get it
C   F            Am
    I’ll be goo-ood
