- Helps with general chord shapes
Tuning: Standard
I know there are already a few tabs of this song up, but imho they aren't close to 100%
correct, so I've decided to share my interpretation of it.
Still find it weird that the lead singer is Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone's brother O_o
You can be liberal with trying out different chord shapes, Dm7 for example also works
As the song is played on piano and I can't get all the exact notes they play.
Kinda makes the chord sound a little quirky and jarring, but still works.
Its up to you to pick DGB or the 3 highest strings, OR use your pinky and pick all 4!

Verse 1:
--------
They call Dmme a little grown Emup
See, I'm upsFet because I've always been Emstuck
But I don't Dmknow what it is I'm withEmout
Guess I'm in lFove with always feeling dEmown
(See the problem was I)
DmI was fully consumEmed
By all of the pFetty things that I couldn't Emdo
All of the Dmplastic, products, shows, and woEmes
But I didn't evFer show, I let it Emgo
So I listen while I'm Dmtold
Sit bEmack, don't thiFnk
Get hEmigh, take driDmnk
Sit bEmack, don't thiFnk
The more I listen, Emthe deeper I sink and
Chorus:
-------
DmOoh, I go hEmigher
And I say, Fooh, a-ooh, I go Emhigher
This head that I Dmhold, oh, it's so Emtired
And I say, Foh, no, I go Emhigher
\Dm
And I say, ooh,
x x x
What's it gon', what's it gonna be?
\Dm
Make me say, ooh,
x x x
What's it gon', what's it gonna be?
\Dm
I'm feelin' so cold,
x x x
What they want, what they want from me
x /Dm x ~Lick
Make me say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (they want, they gonna be)

Verse 2:
--------
So find Dmme stuck in some Emscene
I wanna get Fout but there's no in-Embetween
So I sit Dmback as I watch the crowd Emgo
Never asFsuming that I've sunken so Emlow
See the answer is Dmthis
If I wanna be Emfree
I gotta stop Fplayin' round and runnin' from Emme
'Cause all of the Dmplastic, products, shows, and Emwoes
They got my head Ffeelin' low, no room to Emgrow
So I listen while I'm Dmtold
Sit bEmack, don't thiFnk
Get hEmigh, take driDmnk
Don'tEm feel, Just goF
If you listen Emcarefully, then you won't feel so Dmlow
Sit bEmack, don't thiFnk
The more I listen, Emthe deeper I sink and
Chorus:
-------
DmOoh, I go hEmigher
And I say, Fooh, a-ooh, I go Emhigher
This head that I Dmhold, oh, it's so Emtired
And I say, Foh, no, I go Emhigher
\Dm
And I say, ooh,
x x x
What's it gon', what's it gonna be?
\Dm
Make me say, ooh,
x x x
What's it gon', what's it gonna be?
\Dm
I'm feelin' so cold,
x x x
What they want, what they want from me
x /Dm x ~Lick
Make me say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (they want, they gonna be)
Outro:
------------
I'm sinking, Dmooh, I go Chigher
And I say, ooDmh, a-ooh, I go Chigher
Get no Dmsleep, meet the vamCpire
And I say, Dmooh, no, I go Chigher <- Technically only the synth plays during this part
And I say, Dmooh, I go hEmigher
And I say, Fooh, a-ooh, I go Emhigher
This head that I Dmhold, no, it's so Emtired
And I say, Fooh, no, I go Emhigher Dm
Synth lead during outro Dm

Timing for the slide /Dm near the end of the chorus is quite hard, so be sure to practice!
Hope it helped.
