This is just my interpretation of the acoustic version of this tune. I pretty much use syncopated rhythms
throughout the song. I know that it's not perfect but I hope that you like it.
Intro: (I do it differently every time but this is basically what I go with.)

Back in school we used to dream about this everyday

Then we started singing them

They said it sounded smooth

So we started a group and here we are

Kickin' it just for you
