Buried In Detroit Chords

(ver. 3)
Mike Posner
[Intro]
Em      Am7   G 2x

[verse 1]
Em                      
I'm a writer and a lover
      Am7            G
I'm a Midwest music man
Em
And I've been to a lot of places
             Am7         G
But I'm gon' end where I began
Em
I took class in Carolina
    Am7          G
Got high smoking joints
Em                   
And now they know my name in Paris
            Am7       G
But I'll be buried in Detroit

[Chorus 1]
           Em             Am7             G
Next to my father, and my father's father too
Em
I used to live in New York City
          Am7           G
But baby, that ain't no substitute
Em          
Not for my hometown
     Am7          G
That place people avoid
Em 
I've made love in every city          
But I'll be buried in Detroit

[Bridge]
Em      Am7   G 4x

[Verse 2]
Em
I don't claim to be a prophet
Am7             G
I just speak my mind
Em
I try to tell it like it is
             Am7           G
And sometimes God makes it rhyme
Em
I like my songs how I like my women
Am7               G
Honest and to the point
Em
You see I got f**ked up in Stockholm

But I'll be buried in Detroit

[Chorus 2]
           Em             Am7             G
Next to my father, and my father's father too
Em
I used to live in New York City
          Am7           G
But baby, that ain't no substitute
Em          
Not for my hometown
     Am7          G
That place people avoid
Em 
I've made love in every city          
But I'll be buried in Detroit

[Bridge 2]
Em      Am7   G 4x

[Verse 3 - Big Sean]
Em                                                
Man, I always kept it righteous knowing it would come back to me
Am7                                G
Even when my hunger was outweighing the strategy
Em
And I'd pray to God like I hope you a map for me
Am7              G
Up at 5 am like nobody want it as bad as me
Em
I guess hunger either kill you or it energize you
Am7              G
Motor city, boy, I been a driver
Em
The young Detroit legend, I swear I got the city inspired
Am7                 G
And bought?.just to solidify it
Em
D-boy, D-boy, that's how I was raised
Am7                          G
Boss up and put the city on, forever my ways
Em
Me and ma started charity to give the kids clarity
Am7                           G
And take it further than the foundation we laid
Em
Thanksgiving Day parade, I got carried through the city
Am7                           G
And after that, I hope I get married in the city
Em
And after that, I hope I get buried in the city
Even when I'm gone, you still gon hear me in the city


[Outro]
Em      Am7   G 8x
