Macklemore - Wings Ukulele Chords
Em C
I was seven years old when I got my first pair and I stepped outside and I was like,
G B7
Momma this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly
Em C
I hit that court and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high
G B7
I touched the net, Momma I touched the net, this is the best day off my life
Em C
Air Max’s were next, that air bubble, that mesh, the box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread,
Am
In school I was so cool I knew that I couldn’t crease ‘em
G B7
My friends couldn’t afford ‘em, four stripes on their Adidas
Em
On the court I wasn’t the best, but my kicks were like the pros
C Am
Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo, Nike Air Flight but bad was so dope
G B7
And then my friend Carlos’brother got murdered for his Force, whoa
Em
See he just wanted a jump shot but they wanted his Starter coat though
C
Didn’t wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
G
You could clown for those Probings with the velcro, those were not thight
B7
I was trying to fly without leaving the ground
Em
Cuz, I wanted to be like Mike, right
C
Wanted to be him, I wanted to be that guy
G B7
I wanted to touch the rim, I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
Em
I wanted what he had, America, it begins
Em C Am
I want to fly, can you take me far away?
G B7
Give me a star to reach for, tell me what it takes
Em
And I´ll go so high, I´ll go so high
C
My feet won´t touch the ground
Am
Stitch my wings and pull the strings
G B7 Em
I bought these dreams, that all fall down
Em
We want what we can´t have, commodity makes us want it
C
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
G
Got to show ´em, so exclusive, this that new shit
B7 Em
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes, I would never hoop in
C
Look at me, look at me, I´m a cool kid, I´m an individual, yeah,
Am
But I´m part of a movement, my movement told me to be a consumer and I consumed it
G B7
They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said
Em C
Look at what that swoosh did, see it consumed my thoughts
Are you stupid, don´t crease ´em, just leave ´em in that box
G B7
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk, that´s my air bubble
Em
And I´m lost if it pops, we are what we wear, we wear what we are
C
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
G
Will I stand for change , or stay in my box
B7 Em
These Nikes help me define me but I´m trying to take mine off
C G B7
Em C Am G B7
Em C G B7
Em C Am G B7
`
Em C Am
I want to fly, can you take me far away?
G B7
Give me a star to reach for, tell me what it takes
Em
And I´ll go so high, I´ll go so high
C
My feet won´t touch the ground
Am
Stitch my wings and pull the strings
G B7 Em
I bought these dreams, that all fall down
Em C Am G B7
Em
They started out with I wear to school
C
That first day, like these are what make you cool
G
And this pair, this would be my parachute
B7
So much more than just a pair of shoes
Em
Nah, this is what I am, what I wore
This is the source of my youth
C
This dream that they sold to you
Am
For a hundred dollars and some change
Consumption is in the veins
G B7 Em
And now I see its just another pair of shoes
