Great Expectations chords by J-LIVE
Verse 1
Am
Don't you hate it when your
plans are stated
and you're feeling later
than you're
F
Watch him fall apart
E
right in front of your eyes
Am
Right up under your nose,
out from under your feet
Look there the rug goes,
F
E
it all happened so fast
Am
He was having a blast,
can't believe he was
F
He fell flat on your as s
E
He thought he had it all figured out
Am
And finally realized what
D
the game was about
Eb
And how to formulate the
D
most direct route
Bb
Showed you math, checked your work
Am
to remove all doubt
F
But see you miscalculated
E
The self -proclaimed greatest
Am
is often overrated
F
It's simple common sense
Eb
to claim dominance
D
But overconfidence,
Bb
Am
F
it doesn't compensate for lack of confidence
C
Yup, like, remember Richie
Eb
Rich's dog, Dollar?
F#
He used to daydream about
A
Am
the fame and the glory
C
He gets so caught up
Eb
in hearing the crowd holler
But when crunch time came,
Am
D
it was a whole nother story
F
Or, for those that never
E
dug the cartoons
Am
Sometimes the school hall
resembled a Wild West saloon
F
Eb
You know them goons poppin' shit
D
Bb
about settling beef on hand skills
Am
Then they surrender their teeth
F
E
Am
Yup, cause when it all goes down
had some great expectations
Eb
D
But they late and dollars short
Bb
Preparations made for
Am
weak foundations
E
F
E
A
When it all goes down
You'll be going down right along with it
Eb
D
Ain't you heard to watch out
for the quiet ones?
Bb
They'll be the last ones
E
standing when the riot's done
Have you ever tried
F
Climbing Jacob's Ladder?
Looking California
E
Feeling Minnesota
C
D
Thinking Occam's Razor's
cutting Murphy's Law
Am
A
Catching 22 L's like you never saw
E
F
He's like that brand new rapper
with instant mass appeal
He caught a break with that
E
Am
big major record deal
E
Acting like the rest is already history
G
But the release date remains a mystery
F
E
So you can expect the best
Am
But if you ain't prepared
for the worst
F
You can expect the best
Eb
When you predict a piece of cake
D
Expect a test
Bb
You brought a knife to a gunfight
Am
F
Protect your chest
Put your vest to see through
E
Your heart pumps Kool -Aid
Am
And what's worse,
F
the only one that drank it was you
Eb
Now you're screaming, let's do this
D
Supported by your own hubris
Bb
That's why you're hanging
Am
with Anubis
F
E
Am
Cause when it all goes down
Eb
D
Bb
That's when it all goes down
Dm
F
E
Am
When it all goes down
Eb
D
Bb
That's when it all goes down
Am
Dm
C
Yeah, jet setters,
Eb
go -getters, trim -setters
F#
Am
Big dreamers with vendettas
A
C
Go ahead and dream big,
we're playing better
Eb
And keep quiet about your
F
damn cheddar
G
Am
Cause a cheese grin and shine
F
don't always mean win
C
nin' time time,
D
that was her brother named Jail,
keep him anonymous
E
Yeah, for namesake, forsake,
this is too ominous
C
He bragged to his girl
D
about his physical prominence
F
Ha, when economical was
more synonymous
C
See, long story short
D
Literally
E
Was she upset? Considerably
And she told people
G
Now his box office smash has no sequel
F
Like that security guard
E
Yeah, what the brother say?
Am
You want it to be one way
F
But it's the other way
Eb
Cause he made the same mistake
D
politicians had
Bb
E
Talkin' all that jazz,
somethin' like that
F
E
Actual fact, the Craven Dog barks
Am
about bit in' big dogs
F
don't wait for the bite back
Eb
D
Lesson learned and the truth hurts
Bb
Now you cry a humble pie
E
for your just deserts
D
F
E
Am
Cause when it all goes down
You can have the great expectations
Eb
D
But they late and dollars short
Bb
Preparations make for
Am
weak foundations
E
F
E
Am
When it all goes down
Just never go according to plan
Eb
D
When you talk big like you run things
Bb
E
F
E
Am
C
but your mouth is the only thing you actually ran
Eb
D
Bb
E
Am
F
E

Dm
Hey, man, you know that song you got about the, uh,
the girl?
Gm
Yeah, the me and you.
Yeah, well,
Am
I've been meaning to talk to you about
What, you don't like it?
D
Nah, nah, the song is dope.
G
It's just, uh, you know,
I don't know where
Am
y 'all at right now.
A
Oh, it's mixed.
D
Hold before you and got serious,
G
you know, me and her used to, uh...
Am
Hey, yo!
Oh, word.
Wait, not sister singing the hook?
D
Oh, nah, not our niece.
Dm
Nah, nah, the girl he's talking
A
about in the verse.
Am
You serious, man?
Oh, oh, oh, huh?
Dm
And you telling me this now?
Yeah, we used to smash, too.
