Violin part:
--12-10-9---------10-9----------------|
----------12-----------10-12----------|

 It's pretty much those chords the entire time from what I can tell. Play a bit of the A
 major scale off the violin part and it sounds pretty cool :)
 If we were kids
 I'd want to  give you everything  that you would  want
 Those other  boys
 They gave you  toys, but all they  wanna do is
Keep  up
 Keep up, keep up,  keep up
 That's all I want,  keep up
 Keep up with me,  keep up
 Keep up
 Keep up, keep up, keep up
 That's all I want, keep up
 Keep up with me, keep up
 I guess I'm fucking now
  I'm getting used to it
 It's cause I shine, and I ain't gotta use a crucifix
 Fuck the fussing and fighting and arguing to this and that
 And "Why you bein' mean to me Donald?" I never texted back
 I know it's comin' quick, wishin' I could fast forward
 Tell these nice girls they're the reason that I'm an asshole
 Omega to alpha male because of that dollar bill
 When I worked the mail room I ain't have a shot in hell
 I called her ass for two months and heard shit from her
 These girls couldn't care less when the chips under
 The chips are up and on my shoulder, you heard me?
 I take it out on girls who don't even deserve it
 The Girls I tried to hit last year, I still might
 Karmas a bitch who doesn't suck, but I still like
 If we were kids I had the black K-swiss and reebok
 If we were kids I wouldn’t act like this but we not
 You made a mistake
 These dudes man you bathing in apes
 Finding you is like finding Asians I hate
 But they say I got a fetish, nah I’m skipping all of it
 Black or white girls come with a set of politics
 That’s all I was saying
 I’m a proud man
 They wanna holla when they see your name on SoundScan
 Her name Mercedes but she push a brown Focus
 And she’s doing coke in front of me, but act like I don’t notice
 "There any breakage in that Trojan?"
 She see what she wanna see
 So I make her take plan B in front of me
 Women talk shit on men like all day
 But it's Pete Wentz, goes both ways
 They too busy stabbing hoes like OJ
 They too busy trapping pros like Kobe
 The only thing I put before me is do re
 If you had told me the truth we’d be ok
