[Verse 1]
D                           
 My name's not laying in the
 G
 Hollywood Walk of Fame
D                    
 I'm probably wearing
          G
 the same shirt I wore yesterday

 And my ex-girlfriend's out there

 saying she's better than me

 The funny thing is that

 I totally agree

 I like my coffee cold and
    G
 my music up really loud
D           Em         G
 And I have never ever been 
picked out of any crowd
D            Em           G
 Her winters are in Gucci and
 her summers in Chanel
D           Em           G
 I spend my winters in depression 
and my summers as well

 She overheats but makes it out
 to Malibu and back
D                       G
 Whatever money's in my bank
 account came honestly
D                         G
 And if I lost it all, it wouldn't 
change much of anything
