A#m                        B
'Round the world like I'm tourin'
  C#                      D#m
I got a flight out in the mornin'
I don't know where I'm goin'
But it's ninety-nine in New Orleans now
When it's rainin' it's pourin'
I'm better off by the ocean breeze
Easier not knowin'
Gotta live in the moment

My personal and business lives are separate
They're only fuckin' with you for your benefits
Don't get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no
Get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no

Chorus:
I'll take some time, sit in my retrograde (Retrograde)
I'm gettin' high so I don't feel no pain
In my mind, I feel it in my veins, in my veins
Retro, retrograde

Found a lil' comfort in the pain
Ain't no fuckin' love on your brain
'Cause if it was you would think about
Everything that I gotta think about
They fuckin' with me for the benefit, how am I supposed to know
When everybody sound the same in the new Lambo? (Vroom, vroom)
Light the blunt, Scottie beam me up (Zoom, zoom)
Time to leave the room, yeah

My personal and business lives are separate
They're only fuckin' with you for your benefits
Don't get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no (Yeah)
Get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no

Chorus:
I'll take some time, sit in my retrograde (Retrograde)
I'm gettin' high so I don't feel no pain (Feel no pain, no)
In my mind, I feel it in my veins, in my veins
Retro, retrograde

And it's takin' me far
Takin' me farther, yeah
Taking me farther, farther, farther, farther, far
Oh-oh, oh
Retro, retrograde

Oh baby, you caught me off guard, let you play me
Why'd I involve my heart? Wherever you go, let you take me
Gotta watch all my movement like hooligan, right now (Ooh)
I'm certain I need you, but I'm way too loud
From enemies to frenemies, don't know who to trust
Can't rush through the phases, oh my

My personal and business lives are separate
They're only fuckin' with you for your benefits
Don't get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no
Get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no

Chorus:
I take some time to sit in my retrograde (Retrograde)
I'm gettin' high so I don't feel no pain
In my mind, I feel it in my veins, in my veins
Retro, retrograde, yeah (Retrograde, ooh)

And it's takin' me far
Takin' me farther, yeah
Taking me farther, farther, farther, farther, far
Oh-oh, oh
Retro, retrograde
