[Verse 1]
Cm F
Welcome to a brand new generation
Eb
You don’t know, so let me help you understand
F Cm
You see, you try to build yourself a reputation
Eb F
So you can prove to everyone that you’re the man
Cm
So why is it us that make you feel so helpless?
Eb
You better get it out while you still can
F
‘Cause when those lights go on around you
Cm
And nobody gives a damn
Eb F
You’re gonna wish that you had taken our advice
Cm
I’ve been down, I’ve been out
Eb
Now I can’t keep my face off a cover
That ain’t what it’s about
F Eb
You still have so much left to learn
[Chorus]
Cm Eb C
Congratulations
Eb C
They say you’re the man
Eb
Congratulations
C Eb Cm Eb
You see, I do what you can’t
F Eb
And until they go and take my name off of the shelves (Guess what?)
Cm
Congratulations, we’re gonna give you hell
N.C
(Get ‘em, Matty!)
[Verse 2]
F
They try to do it like me, but they do it all wrong
Eb F
I’ll pass the torch when someone better comes along (Yeah right)
Gm Cm
Congratulations to every label that ever turned me down
Eb F
Me and my top-20 record aren’t too worried about it now
Eb
I hope this lesson taught is a lesson learned
Cm
Now go and bury your head while me and Kell rule the world!
[Chorus]
Cm Eb C

Could you please give us the spotlight? ‘Cause I have something to say
Eb F
You may not like the subject, but I’ll say this anyway

So could you please do us a favour and stay the fuck out of our way!?
