Fake ID chords by Macklemore
Verse 1
Em
When I was 17 I was staying in NYC
And my homie told me where
I could get a fake ID
A
"Aiyo son you better get
Em
A
that shit when you in NY"
So I hopped on the subway and
Em
I gave it a try
A
Em
Plesant surprise the ID looked fine
5'9, blues eyes, born in 1979
Nervous as hell I went to the
store with my homie
Came out and yelled "Dawg they
sold me a 40"
G
Yeah, you know that I was the man
Buying the contraband with
A
a fake ass hologram
G
No more looking for bums,
Em
standing in the rain
Stranded on Broadway and giving
A
'em all my change
Bm
For the rest of the
A
summer man I was on fades
Em
17, had it made, getting drunk everyday
A
Eh, I got treated a whole new way
G
Because of a piece of plastic
Em
A
that proved I was of age
Verse 2
A
You know what I'm saying,
G
all of a sudden you get this little piece of plastic and you're in the club

Em
When I got up the the door
the bouncer checking ID's
A
Looks at mine and he's like "Nah

I hate bouncers with their bald heads and ten foot tall legs
G
Bm
G
and shirts that they outgrew when they were like ten
Em
Your mother is dumb for having you
You're a bouncer because you have a small

you never seemed to listen
You look injected with the shit
they give to KFC chickens

If I was tall I would fight you

If I was a dog I would bite you
G
Em

Every single day you make people cry
A

And your job is to go and ru
A
Em
in teenager's lives
G
Ok I'm going too far
A
bouncers aren't all bad
I'm sure they make great husbands
G
A
and really strong dads
G
Em
But hopefully you
A
learned a lesson from me
Never take an MC's fake ID
Yup, I said never take an MC's fake ID
Verse 8
G
You could
A
be buff and tough,
it don't matter to me
'Cause you're going to
get burned if you step to MCs
