Capo: 3

Hey guys this is my first attempt at chords for a song, so please let me know any mistakes! Capo 3 Verse 1

I^Dm was seven years old, when I g^Fot my first pair I stepped outside

And I was like, Momma ^C, this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly^E I hit that cou^Dmrt, and when I jumped, I j^Fumped, I swear I got so high

I touched the^C net, Mom I touched the net.. this is the bes^Et day of my life Air Max's were next, ^Dm That air bubble, that mesh

The box,^F the smell, the stuffin, the tread. ^DmAt school, I was so cool I knew that I couldn't crease 'em

My friend^Cs couldn't afford 'em Four stri^Epes on their Adidas

On the court I wa^Dmsn't the best, but my kicks were like the pro's Yo,^F I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo

Ni^Dmke Air Flight , book bag was so dope And then my friend Carlos' bro^Ether got murdered for his Fours, whoa

See^Dm he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted his Starter coat though Did^Fn't wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello

Yo^Dmu get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro Those were not tight

I^E was trying to fly without leaving the ground, cuz I wanted to be lik^Dme Mike, right

Wanted to be him ^F I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to to^Cuch the rim I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in

^EI wanted what he had, America, it begins Chorus:

I ^Dmwant to fly Can you take me far aw^Fay

G^Dmive me a star to reach for Te^Cll me what it takes ^E

(Chords repeat) And I'll go so high I'll go so high My feet won't touch the ground Stitch my wings And pull the strings I bought these dreams That all fall down

W^Dme want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it So^F expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it

Go^Ct to show 'em, so exclusive, this that new shoe A ^Ehundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in

Lo^Dmok at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid I'^Fm an individual, yea, but I'm part of a movement

M^Dmy movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it They told me^C to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said^E

Lo^Dmok at what that swoosh did See it consumed my thoughts ^F Are you stupid, don't crease 'em, just leave 'em in that box

St^Dmrangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk Th^Eat's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops

We^Dm are what we wear, we wear what we are But see I loo^Fk inside the mirror and think Phil Nike tricked us all

Wi^Cll I stand for change, or stay in my box These Nikes help ^Eme define me, but I'm trying to take mine, off

(Instrumental bit) Dm F C E Dm F Dm C E Dm F C E Dm F Dm C E (Chorus Chords same as first chorus) I want to fly Can you take me far away Give me a star to reach for Tell me what it takes And I'll go so high I'll go so high My feet won't touch the ground So stitch my wings And pull the strings I bought these dreams That all fall down Dm F Dm C E

Th^Dmey started out, with what I wear to school That first day, li^Fke these are what make you cool

And this pair, this ^Cwould be my parachute So much more than just a^E pair of shoes

Nah, this is what I am ^Dm What I wore, this is the source of my youth

This dream tha^Ft they sold to you For a hundred dollars and some ^Dmchange Consumption is in the veins

And now I see it's jus^Ct another pair of shoes ^E
