Best Thing Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I me[Am]an Ush,
is this what it come to [Em]man?
This how we gon [Am]do it? I
mean, even [Em]grass grow baby
You [Am]know? Seeds become plants,
boys become [Em]men
What we gon [Am]do?

[Verse 2]
Let's lead the way
[Em]Wrapped around all girls
like [Am]Pashminas
What's my demeanor?
The grass is always greener on
[Em]the other side
There's bigger lies,
can't give a ring up
[Am]I couldnt give a f- , how could
I give [Em]a finger?

[Verse 3]
Let alone half bath [Am]and closets
So claustrophobic, in fear
of close objects
[Em]Now it's sort of like
two car garages
[Am]It's like two broads menagin'

[Verse 4]
You're the best mama
[Em]Is there any c[Am]hance
That you remember me being any more
than just a horrible [Em]man?
And would you consider pullin'
this [Am]trigger
And taking a second shot at ro[Em]mance?

[Verse 5]
Oh, baby, I want the [Am]days when
you were my girl
And I was [Em]your man
Know I took you for granted
but [Am]it wasn't 'til now
I see how much I [Em]miss you

[Verse 6]
Girl, I'm [Am]sorry that I ran [Em]the street
s acting [Am]like a [Em]damn fool
But for [Am]once here goes the truth
I [Em]can't be fake, I can't be phony
[Am]Acting all hard,
that's for homies that's lonely
I [Em]tried to flex but I con[Am]fess
that when you left

[Verse 7]
You took the very [Em]best thing
The best [Am]thing that ever happened to me
You took my [Em]best thing,
the best [Am]thing that I ever seen
You took [Em]the best thing,
the best [Am]thing that I ever [G]had
[Am]And now [Em]all I feel is stress
[Am]'Cause when you left you took
the very be[Em]st

[Verse 8]
Remember Mimi [Am]or Vita,
remember Isha or [Em]Eva (I ain't [Am]got '[Em]em no more)
Hey, as for Naomi or Jenny
Got the [Am]same outcome as Chilli
(Girl, I let [Em]'em all go)

[Verse 9]
Ooh, no more trickin' and kissin' [Am]miscel
laneous chicks
Acting like a jerk, woman I [Em]been to church
And I talked to the bishop
and [Am]he wanted me
To share this with ya

[Verse 10]
How much I [Em]miss you
I'm so [Am]sorry that I ran [G]the street
s acting [Am]like [Em]a damn fool
But for [Am]once here goes the truth
[Em]I can't be fake, I can't be phony
[Am]Acting all hard,
that's for homies that's lonely
I [Em]tried to flex but I confess
that [Am]when you left

[Verse 11]
You took the very [Em]best thing
The best [Am]thing that ever happened to me
[G]You too[Am]k my bes[Em]t thing,
the best [Am]thing that I ever seen
You took [Em]the best thing,
the best [Am]thing that I ever had
And [Em]now all I feel is stress
'Cause baby [Am]when you left

[Verse 12]
you took the very best
[Am]Momma try to [C]tell me,
[G]Hovi Hov to slow it [Em]down
You gon' lose your best thing if
you keep gettin' [G]'round
Like Pop need a [D]partner when
you old to hold you down
[G]Ma, forever young, [Em]was forever [D]numb

[Verse 13]
Sorry [C]Stacy, sorry Dawn,
[D]Amil- lion and all of [Em]them
All of them was for their time,
it wasn't you, it was him
School [F]me once, school me twice,
three times, I was dumb
Now [Dm]it's so plain to [D]see to me,
I got the one
You're the [Em]best mama

[Verse 14]
I can't be fake, I can't [Am]be phony
Acting all hard that's
for homies that's lonely
I [Em]tried to flex but I con
[Am]fess that when you left

[Verse 15]
You took the very [Em]best thing
The best [Am]thing that ever
[G]happened to [Am]me
[Em]You took my best thing,
the best [Am]thing that I ever seen
You took [G]the best [Am]thing,
the best thing that I ever had
And now [Em]all I feel is stress
'Cause baby [Am]when you left
you took the very best
