[Chorus]
           C
You should bounce, bounce, bounce man
G
Come to the house, man,

I'll let my old lady know

You'll be in and out, out, out man
Bm
Float you a couple bands,
Em                     C G
then you head to Mexico

I-I-I don't know if
                G
you've got your phone
       Bm                    Am
'Cause this went straight to voicemail
       D             Am
And my wife saw your face
               G
on the nightly news
Bm                 Am
Oh boy, what'd you do?
Don't matter now

I'll break it down (Break it down)
