"The best song wasn't the single, but you
weren't either
Living in Ladera Heights, the black
Beverly Hills
Domesticated paradise, palm trees and
pools
The water's blue, swallow the pill
Keeping it surreal, whatever you like
Whatever feels good, whatever takes you
mountain high
Keeping it surreal, not sugar-free, my TV
ain't HD, that's too real
Grapevine, mango, peaches, and limes, the
sweet life
PRE-CHORUS:
(From here and on a piano is also adding
those additional top-notes,
making the total chord names seem a bit
more fancy-extended.)

[F#maj9] [|] [Amaj7/B] [|] [Emaj9] [|] [C#7]
"The sweet life, sweet life
Sweet life, sweet life
The sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet life
Sweet life, the sweet life
Sweetie pie
CHORUS:

"You've had a landscaper and a house
keeper since you were born
The star shine always kept you warm
So why see the world, when you got the
beach
Don't know, why see the world, when you
got the beach
The sweet life
VERSE:
"The best song wasn't the single, but you
couldn't turn your radio down
Satellite need a receiver, can't seem to
turn the signal fully off
Transmitting the waves
You're catching that breeze 'til you're
dead in the grave
But you're keeping it surreal, whatever
you like
Whatever feels good, whatever takes you
mountain high
Keeping it surreal, not sugar-free, my TV
ain't HD, that's too real
Grapevines, mango, peaches, and lime, a
sweet life
PRE-CHORUS:
"A sweet life
A sweet life, yeah
A sweet life, a sweet life
A sweet life
Live and die in the life
CHORUS:
"You've had a landscaper and a house
keeper since you were born, yeah
The star shine always kept you warm
So why see the world, when you got the
beach
Don't know, why see the world, when you
got the beach
BRIDGE:
[C#maj9] [|] [C#m7] [|] [Bmaj7] [|] [A#m7]
"And the water is exactly what I wanted
It's everything I thought it would be
(Thought it would be)
But this neighborhood is getting trippier
every day
The neighborhood is going ape shit crazy
CHORUS:
"You've had a landscaper and a house
keeper since you were born
The star shine always kept you warm
So why see the world, when you got the
beach
Don't know why see the world, when you got
the beach
The sweet life
