VERSE:
  (These 8 bars are the basic round repeated for the verse and pre-Chorus.)

   ||: F#maj7 | A/B | Emaj7 | Amaj7 |

    | F#maj7 | A/B | Emaj7 | C#7(no3) :||

"The best song wasn't the single, but you weren't either
 Living in Ladera Heights, the black Beverly Hills
 Domesticated paradise, palm trees and pools
 The water's blue, swallow the pill

 Keeping it surreal, whatever you like
 Whatever feels good, whatever takes you mountain high
 Keeping it surreal, not sugar-free, my TV ain't HD, that's too real
 Grapevine, mango, peaches, and limes, the sweet life



PRE-CHORUS:
  (From here and on a piano is also adding those additional top-notes,
   making the total chord names seem a bit more fancy-extended.)

   | F#maj9 | Amaj7/B | Emaj9 | Amaj9 |

   | F#maj9 | Amaj7/B | Emaj9 | C#7(no3) |

"The sweet life, sweet life
 Sweet life, sweet life
 The sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet life
 Sweet life, the sweet life
 Sweetie pie



CHORUS:

   ||: F#maj9 | Amaj7/B | Emaj9 | Amaj9 :||

"You've had a landscaper and a house keeper since you were born
 The star shine always kept you warm
 So why see the world, when you got the beach
 Don't know, why see the world, when you got the beach
 The sweet life



VERSE:

"The best song wasn't the single, but you couldn't turn your radio down
 Satellite need a receiver, can't seem to turn the signal fully off
 Transmitting the waves
 You're catching that breeze 'til you're dead in the grave

 But you're keeping it surreal, whatever you like
 Whatever feels good, whatever takes you mountain high
 Keeping it surreal, not sugar-free, my TV ain't HD, that's too real
 Grapevines, mango, peaches, and lime, a sweet life



PRE-CHORUS:

"A sweet life
 A sweet life, yeah
 A sweet life, a sweet life
 A sweet life
 Live and die in the life



CHORUS:

"You've had a landscaper and a house keeper since you were born, yeah
 The star shine always kept you warm
 So why see the world, when you got the beach
 Don't know, why see the world, when you got the beach



BRIDGE:

   ||: C#maj9 | C#m7 | Bmaj7 | A#m7 :||

"And the water is exactly what I wanted
 It's everything I thought it would be (Thought it would be)
 But this neighborhood is getting trippier every day
 The neighborhood is going ape shit crazy



CHORUS:

"You've had a landscaper and a house keeper since you were born
The star shine always kept you warm
So why see the world, when you got the beach
Don't know why see the world, when you got the beach
The sweet life



OUTRO:

   ||: F#maj9 | Amaj7/B | Emaj9 | A9 :||
