Verse:
Em D
Caroline
C
All the guys would say she's mighty fine
Bm Am
But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time
G F C D B7
And the other half either got you cursed out, or coming up short
Em
Yeah, now dig this, even though
D C
You'd need a golden calculator to divide
F Em
The time it took to look inside and realize that
D F C B7
Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!
Chorus:
Em D
I know you'd like to thank your shit don't stank
C
But lean a little bit closer
Bm Am
See that roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo
G F C D
Yeah, roses really smell like poo-oo-ooo
(x2)
Verse 2:
Em D C
Caroline! See she's the reason for the word "bitch"
F
I hope she's speeding on the way to the club
Trying to hurry up to get to some
Baller or singer or somebody like that
And try to put on her makeup in the mirror
Em
And crash, crash, crash.. into a ditch! (Just Playing!)
D C
She needs a golden calculator to divide
Bm Am
The time it took to look inside and realize that
G F C D
Real guys go for real down to Mars girls, yeah!
[Chorus]
Verse 3: (Rap)
-For Verse 3 repeat the 1st Verse chords-
[Chorus]
Em D
Better come back down to Mars
C
Girl, quit chasin' cars
What happens when the dough get so low
F
Bitch, you ain't that fine
Em D F C B7
No way.. no way.. no way
