                     Cmaj7                      Am7
I like the way he's speakin', his confidence is peakin'
                                     Fmaj7             Emaj7

  Am7                                              Fmaj7
I heard that Cali never rains and New York's wide awake
Emaj7                              Cmaj7

Am7                                                     Fmaj7
Sneakers lookin' fresh to death, I'm lovin' those shell toes
Emaj7              Cmaj7
Walkin' that walk, talk that slick talk
    Am7                            Fmaj7
I'm likin' this American boy, American boy

                                                        Fmaj7
reluctantly, because most of this press don't fuck with me
             Emaj7
Estelle once said to me, cool down down
Cmaj7

Am7                                                  Fmaj7
 Rap singer, chain blinger. Holler at the next chick soon as you're blinkin'
Emaj7
 What's your persona
Cmaj7                    Am7
About this Americana rhymer?
                                     Fmaj7     Emaj7
Am I shallow 'cause all my clothes designer?
Emaj7
Dressed smart like a London bloke
  Cmaj7
before he speak his suit bespoke
N.C.
and you thought he was cute before
N.C.
Look at this Pea Coat, tell me he's broke
Emaj7
And I know you ain't into all that
  Cmaj7
I heard your lyrics I feel your spirit
Am7
But I still talk that Ca-a-ash
               Fmaj7                Emaj7
Cuz a lot WAGs wanna to hear it
                                    Cmaj7
And I'm feelin' like Mike at his baddest
                         Am7
Like The Pips and the Gladys
Am7
And I know they love it,
                         Fmaj7       Emaj7
so to hell with all that rubbish
 
 
[Bridge]
 
            Cmaj7                            Am7
Would you be my love, my love? (would you be mine?)
                                Fmaj7       Emaj7
Would you be my love, my love? (Would you be mine?)
            Cmaj7
Could you be my love, my love? (Ooh)
