Penthouse Floor: Chords

Intro:
SIb

SIb
All this trouble in this here town

All this shit going down
               
When will they focus, on this

Streets ride up with the TV crews

Look ma, we on the news
                
But they didn't notice

Before this
     SIb
They float above the city lights

Forget the truth inhale the lies
MIbm6+
Just enjoy the show
     SIb
They see us reaching for the sky

Just in order to survive
MIbm6+
Maybe we should go

                 SIb
Go to the penthouse floor 

(let's go, let's go, let's go)
                MIbm6+
Go to the penthouse floor 

(let's go, let's go, let's go)

            MIbm6+
Didn't they notice, notice
SIb
Only future I can see, ain't what it used to be
             MIbm6+
And I didn't know this, I didn't know this
     SIb
Once you're above the city lights

Won't want to spend another night, 
MIbm6+ 
down there on your own
    SIb
The holding on display for us

The altitude is dangerous, 
    MIbm6+

MIbdim SIb        LAb7/SIb

                                         SIb
I heard this old joke once, it was like, uh

Knock knock, who's there, it's us, us who?

Just us, who dis? Just playin'

Just me, new phone, new hair, new era

I'm in the penthouse, baby

Handpicked from bad apples and bad eggs

Held back, I had to grab crab legs

And then there were only but a few

Conversations held with patience,

what a party, what a view

What a dress, what a song

What a beautiful time

My folks downstairs still waiting in line

They never been in these rooms

Never stayed with these folks

Never laughed at the news, 

never hated these jokes

So as I fly in my suit, in a group, undercover

Forcing a new smile, he tells me another

He said "What happened to the boy 

that climbed up the trunk?"

Then he pushed me off the top 

and said "Jump, nigga jump!"
SIb
Oh don't bring me down, 

I need a room up in the clouds
        MIbm/SIb
I wanna get there babe, I wanna elevate
SIb
Oh my favourite mix

A little ignorance and bliss
       MIbm/SIb         
In the penthouse babe, go to the penthouse

                SIb
Go to the penthouse floor 

(let's go, let's go, let's go, yeah)
                MIbm6+
Go to the penthouse floor 

(let's go, let's go, let's go)
                    SIb6
Let's ride the elevator, 
     SIb5+                   SIb
it's what we've been waiting for 

(let's go, let's go, let's go)
      DO7                   MIbm6+
We'll tear down those penthouse doors 

(let's go, let's go, let's go)
              
Those penthouse doors
                          SIb
We'll tear down the penthouse doors 

(let's go, let's go, let's go)
                      MIbm6+
Baby, I'm in the penthouse floor 

(let's go, let's go, let's go)
                          SIb
Baby, let's ride the elevator
                   
'Til we can rise some more
                 MIbm6+              
Go to the penthouse floor, penthouse floor, 
            SIb
oh, oh, oh, oh...
