Good Life
intro:
F# B D#m C# x2
[Verse 1]
F#
Woke up in London yesterday
B
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
D#m
Don't really know how I got here
C#
I got some pictures on my phone
F#
New names and numbers that I don't know
B
Address to places like Abbey Road
D#m
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
C#
We're young enough to say
[Chorus]
F# B
Oh this has gotta be the good life
D#m
This has gotta be the good life
C#
This could really be a good life, good life
F# B
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
D#m
Like this city is on fire tonight
C#
This could really be a good life. A good, good life
F# B D#m C# x2
[Verse 2]
F#
To my friends in New York, I say hello
B
My friends in L.A. they don't know
D#m
Where I've been for the past few years or so
C#
Paris to China to Col-or-ado
F#
Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
B
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
D#m
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
C#
What there is to complain about
[Bridge 1]
F#
When you're happy like a fool
B
Let it take you over
D#m
When everything is out
C#
You gotta take it in
[Chorus]
[Bridge 2]
F#
Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
C#
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

version 5
Capo on the 6th Fret!
Use thumb to hit E string on the F Chord.
On the C chord you may try to use your 3rd finger (ring)
to hit both the E and A strings,
and I think this sounds better than just muting it.
Never take your pinky off that high e string.
