For those who love capos and hate chords like B and Ebm
 
Capo on the 6th Fret!
 
Use thumb to hit E string on the F Chord.
 
On the C chord you may try to use your 3rd finger (ring)
to hit both the E and A strings,
and I think this sounds better than just muting it.
 
Never take your pinky off that high e string.

Intro:

Chorus:
C                         F
Woke up in London yesterday
                              Am
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
                        G
Don't really know how I got here
                          C
I got some pictures on my phone
                                   F
New names and numbers that I don't know
                               Am
Addressed to places like Abbey Road
                                   G
Take turns tonight, night turns to whatever we want
                        C
Were young enough to say
 
Refrain:
C                       F
Ohhh this is gotta be a good life (2x)
Am                      G
This could really be a good life good life
    C                              F
Say ohhh got this feeling that you cant fight
                     Am
Like this city is on fire tonight
                     G
Ohhh this could be a good life
               C
Good good life ohhhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh
 
*Repeat Chords to the end*
Chorus:
To my friends in New York I say hello
My friends in LA they don't know
Where Ive been for the past few years or so
Paris, to China to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes I cant jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We out of stories but please tell me
Whats there to complain about?
When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in
 
Ohhh this is gotta be a good life (2x)
This could really be a good life good life
Say ohhh got this feeling that you cant fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could be a good life
Good good life ohhhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh
 
Hopelessly I feel like there might be something that I missed
Hopelessly I feel like the window closes so so quick
Hopelessly I'm taking a mental picture of you now
Cause hopelessly to the hopeless we have something to feel good about.
 
Ohhh this is gotta be a good life (2x)
This could really be a good life good life
Say ohhh got this feeling that you cant fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could be a good life
Good good life ohhhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh
 
To my friends in New York I say hello
My friends in LA they don't know
Where Ive been for the past few years or so
Paris, to China to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes I cant jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We out of stories but please tell me
Whats there to complain about?

A fun way to play A# or Bb is by sliding up from F to the 6th fret relative to the capo. Your fingers stay in the same position as the F chord. By the way, I'm playing this on the first fret by transposing this +5! Hope this helps! ;)
