[Chorus]
  Ab      Gm            Fm
Life is good, who's askin'?
                         Gm
Wrote my number down on too many napkins
 Ab          Gm                        Fm
Got tired of, "we'll see what happens"
                                 G     Ab
Lights, camera, she 'bout that action

[Verse 1]
           Gm
Which is good when I'm stagnant
      Fm                               G       Ab
And stuck to the mattress, stuck like a magnet
          Gm                Fm
Life is good, but it's taxin'
                 G      Ab
Discourse, distractions
      G                  F
Discotheque, mathematics
                          G      Ab
Gave her my number after dancin'
         Eb
Life is good, who's askin'?
 Fm                                    Eb
You are not entitled to my time or my passion
      Ab   Eb           Fm
Nights out ran me ragged
                               Eb     Ab
Got tired of bein' nice out of habit
         Ebm
You can ask, you can't have it
Fm                                         Ab
Shorty back home snack wrapped in a blanket

[Chorus]
         Eb                Fm
Life is good, who's askin'?
                       Eb
Wrote my number down on too many napkins
   Ab         Eb                      Fm
Got tired of, "we'll see what happens"
                               Eb     Ab
Lights, camera, she 'bout that action
           Eb              Fm  Eb Ab
Life is good, who's askin'?

[Verse 2]
Eb
She ask in Spanish
Fm                                      Eb     Ab
Can't understand it, still, somehow it's magic
G
Gave up on fashion
Fm                           G      Ab
Changed up my balance, ate a salad
           G
She got me Nikes, we went hiking
        Fm
We got Popeye's, hopped a red-eye
                          G
We caught sunrise out in Bedstuy
         Ab                            Eb
Know her bedtime I slip out the crib too late, I meet my fate
               Fm                                        G
That's bad for me, a casualty, say it's a meeting, it's a date
            Ab                     Eb
Feel like a dog, set my alarm for 5am, and then I left
           Fm
Snuck into bed, disturbed her breath
                     G         Ab      Eb
I attest it's better to have loved and lost
        Fm                              G
Than to never have loved anything at all
           Ab                           Eb
But I loved it all too much and now I gotta fall
           Fm
'Cause it's far

[Bridge]
Eb  Ab    Eb          Fm          Eb
It's been good, shouldn't complain
Ab        Eb    Fm              Eb
But even when I win, I'm drained
  Ab       Eb            Fm      Eb
I know I'm only gon' be sad again
       Ab       Eb      Fm     Eb   Ab
'Cause none of this is permanent

[Chorus]
         Gm                F
Life is good, who's askin'?
Wrote my number down on too many napkins
Ab            Gm              Fm
Got tired of, "we'll see what happens"

Lights, camera, she 'bout that action
        F               Eb
She think it's funny how
  Fm                           G   Eb
We always spendin' money goin' out
              Ab
All the while we
Fm                         Eb
Have everything we need at home
       Fm
Now she
                               G  Eb
Wants me to start goin' out alone
   Ab            Eb              Fm
So I drive away, smile on my face
