It sounds a little different on ukulele, which is what it's originally played on,
so for best results, get a ukulele!
Capo 1st Fret
Intro
G B7 Em C-D-G
G B7 Em G7
The years are going by so fast it really is bewilderin'
C Cm G D
And we'll be so-called "grown ups" and have mortgages and children
G B7 Em G7
I hope we all gain worldliness, and wisdom, and maturity
C Cm G D
But I hope most of all that MySpace falls into obscurity
G B7 Em G7
I hope our profiles all go dead, entombed in distant servers
C Cm G D
A monument of your youth, although lacking its observers
G B7 Em G7
Your page will be an empty shell, when no one is behind it
C Cm G D D7
I hope your MySpace stays forever - and I hope that your kids find it
CHORUS
G A
How I hope that you forget about your MySpace
C Cm
I hope it slips completely from your mind
G B7 Em A Cm
And I hope it stays up long enough for the next generation to find
G A
And I hope that it embarrasses your children
C Cm
I hope their bratty friends all forward it around
G B7 Em
And I hope that you forget your password
A C G
So you cannot take it down
G B7 Em G7
If your kids think you vaguely square, it will be so much clearer
C Cm G D
When they laugh at the pictures you took in your bathroom mirror
G B7 Em G7
And all the bands you listen to, your kids will be exposin'
C Cm G D
"Who is this Soulja Boy you reference, who's 'Uh Oh Explosion'?"
G B7 Em G7
They'll marvel at how old you are, they'll "rofl" at your outfits
C Cm G D D7
Your style may pass as "vintage" in the future - but I doubt it
CHORUS
G-B7-Em-G7 C Cm D Cdim
Em G
I hope your cynical kids say, "Holy crap, this is great
A Am D
These comments date all the way back to 2008."
Em
I hope they dig through your pictures
G
And find some we might call compromising
A
I hope that seeing young Mom in a swimsuit
Am D
Or smoking a hookah isn't too traumatizing
C G
But it will be past their comprehension
B7 C Cm
They'll ask "Did Grandpa not give you enough attention?"
G A C Cm G-B7-Em A Cm
G A C Cm G-B7-Em A C-G
CHORUS
G B7 Em G7 C Cm G D
G B7 Em G7
They might poke at your top 8 friends, read your comments at the most
C Cm D G
I only wish that they could see the inane bulletins you post
