[Verse 1]
Db Fm Gb
Get food, barely eat
Db Fm Gb (Fm)
Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
Db Fm Gb
I worried, even cried
Bbm Bbm C (Ab)
How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
Db Fm Gb
Bad habit, even worse
Db Fm Gb (Fm)
Fifty-fifty, I'm a sucker for looks
Db Fm Gb
Asked for it, here it is
Bbm Bbm C
A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits
[Chorus]
Db Fm Gb
I think you're scared of being basic
Db Fm Gb
That's ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more
Db Fm Gb
Basic
Bbm Db
It's not funny, it's so funny
Db Fm Gb
Cause you're basic
Db Fm Gb
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
Db Fm Gb
Nothingness won't change it (Good luck with that, good luck with what?)
Bbm Bbm C (Ab)
It's not funny, but it's so funny
[Verse 2]
Db
I don't want your money, I don't care for fame
Db
I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
Db Fm Gb
I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
Bbm Fm Db
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
Db Gb
It sent me reeling, still not the same
Db
It's like my capacity to love and give has changed
Db
I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
Bbm Fm Db
The past's the past, and I'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pre-tend
[Chorus]
Db Fm Gb
How basic (Sell me on it)
Db Fm Gb
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
Db Fm Gb
That's basic (Haha)
Bbm Cm
It's not funny, it's so funny
Db Fm Gb
That's just basic being basic (Basically)
Db Fm Gb
You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
Db Fm Gb
I guess I'll take it
Bbm Cm
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
[Bridge]
Db
Change your body, change your face
Fm Gb
Curl your hair then make it straight
Db Fm Gb
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
Db Fm Gb
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
Bbm
It's a flash photograph
[Outro]
Bbm Fm Db
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
Fm Gb Db
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
Fm Gb Db
What an empty epitaph (That's just basic being basic)
Fm Gb
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
Bbm N.C.
