Song : Both of Us
Artist: B.o.B. ft. Taylor Swift
Notes : I'm pretty sure the intro is played on a Ukulele but I've recreated
it on the guitar. It's probably not *exactly* the same but it sounds
good.
If you listen to the song you can work out the timing (I haven't
included timing, it's a bit tricky).
Strum the verses.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Capo : 7th fret

C G1 G Em7 F

VERSE 1(B.o.B):
CEver thought about losing it?
When your money is all gone and you lose your whip
You might Em7lose your grip
When the landlord tell you that you're due for rent
And the grass so green Con the other side
Make a nigga wanna run straight through the fence
Open up the fridge about Em720 times
But still can't find no food in it
That's foolishness
CAnd sometimes I wonder
All we care so much about the way we look
And the way we Em7talk, and the way we act
And the clothes we bought, how much that cost?
CDoes it even really matter?
Cuz if life is an uphill battle,
We all try to Em7climb on the same old ladder
In the same boat with the same old paddle
Why so Cshallow, I'm just asking
What's the pattern to the madness?
EveryEm7body in a #1 draft pick
Most of us aint Hollywood actors
But if Cit's all for one, and one for all
Then maybe one day we all can ball
Em7Do it one time for the underdogs
Sincerely yours, from one of y'all

VERSE 2(B.o.B):
CI can feel your pain,
I can feel your struggle
You just want to Em7live
But everything so low,
That you can drown in the puddle
That's why I gotta Chold us up
Yeah hold us up
For all the times no one ever spoke for us
So Em7every single time that they play this song
You can say that, "that's what Bobby Ray wrote for us"
When his Ceyes get too high
And the sea up underneath get so deep
And you feel like you're Em7just another person
Getting lost in the crowd
Way up high in the nosebleeds (Uh)
Because we've Cboth been there
Yeah both of us
But we still stand tall
With our shoulders up
And Em7even though we always against the odds
These are the things that have molded us
BRIDGE(B.o.B):
And if Clife hadn't chosen us
Sometimes I wonder
Where I would have wound up
Cuz if it was up to G1me
I would make a new blueprint
Then build it from the ground up
Hey, but if Em7its all for one
And One for all
Then maybe one day
We all could ball
FDo it one time for the underdogs
From Bobby Ray to all of y'all
