Lyrics

                Am
Used to keep it cool

[Verse 1]
Used to be a fool
              C                Dm
All about the bounce in my step
                Am
Watch it on the news
Whatcha gonna do?
              C               Dm
I could hit refresh and forget
                Am
Used to keep it cool
C Dm F                 Am
      Should I keep it light?

[Verse 2]
Stay out of the fight?
               C           Dm
No one's gonna listen to me
             Am
If I write a song
Preaching what is wrong
                 C          Dm
Will they let me sing on TV?
                Am
Should I keep it  light?

[Bridge]
C       Dm      F
 Is that  right?

[Chorus]
Am
  Way up, way up we go
C
 Been up and down that road
Dm
  Way up, way up, oh no
F
We gon' burn the whole house down
Am
  Watch me stand in the line
C
 You're only serving lies
Dm
  You've got something to hide
F
We gon' burn the whole house down

[Bridge]
Am C
Dm F
   We gon' burn the whole house down

[Pre-Verse]
Am C     Dm               Am
    Yeah,  used to let it go

[Verse 3]
Walk into the show
               C                    Dm
Gawking at the tricks up your sleeve
               Am
Too good to be true
Fool, I'm in a room
             C                  Dm
Full of entertainers and thieves
               Am
Used to let it go

[Bridge]
C        Dm  F
 Woah, oh  no

[Chorus]
Am
  Way up, way up we go
C
 Been up and down that road
Dm
  Way up, way up, oh no
F
We gon' burn the whole house down
Am
  Watch me stand in the line
C
 You're only serving lies
Dm
  You've got something to hide
F
We gon' burn the whole house down

Am G C Dm F         Am

Should I bite my tongue?
            Dm                                 F
Or should I march with every stranger from Twitter to get
shit done?
        Am
Used to hang my head low
G     C
Now I hear it loud
      Dm                             F
Every stranger from Twitter is gonna burn this down

[Chorus]
Am
  Way up, way up we go

 Been up and down that road
Dm
  Way up, way up, oh no
F
We gon' burn the whole house down
