Till I Get There by Lupe Fiasco
Till I Get There
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: Db
All of the chords in "Till I Get There" are just Db chords with different bass notes.
It's easier to play these chords on the piano, but can be played on the guitar through
power chords.
If you play it on the piano, though, your right hand would be holding down the same bass
note as the chord, but down an octave. So for the Db/C chord, for example, you would have
the chord with your right hand and with your left hand you would be holding down a C for
the entire bar.

The world is so cold, I'm glad I bought these skiis

Went right off of the bunny slopes and right into the trees

Rendered unconscious, they rushed me to a concert

Instead of green jello, they made me chicken soup

They fed me magazine covers and video shoots

Be a jerk to these jerks, yeah that'll make 'em hurt
Db
Huh? Said the young boy in the mirror
Db/C
A young version of me, so I started to tear up
Db/B
He said, you need to cheer up, your mind need to clear up
Db/Bb
You're already here, just be yourself from here up"
Db
Then he disappeared and I felt something familiar
Db/C
Somethin' I was taught, somethin' I had lost
Db/B
If you are afraid, the fear that you gon' change some
Db/Bb
All you gotta do is just remember where you came from.
[Chorus]
Db
I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me
Db/C
It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
Db/B
Until I get there
Db/Bb
Until I get there
Db
Yeah, I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect
Db/C
But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it
Db/B
When I get there
Db/Bb
When I get there, woah-oh, oh
