              A                         C# 
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad 
F#m                            E 
Buy all of the things I never had 
A                               C# 
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine 
F#m                            E 
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen 
 
   D            E        F#m 
Oh every time I close my eyes 
  D              E       F#m 
I see my name in shining lights 
D           E          A     G#m 
 A different city every night oh 
 
F#m E D                      C# 
I - I swear the world better prepare 
                     (F#m) 
For when I'm a billionaire 
 
Travis "Travie" McCoy 
                    A 
Yeah I would have a show like Oprah 
                       C# 
I would be the host of everyday Christmas 
Give Travie a wish list 
F#m 
 I'd probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt 
     E 
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had sh-t 
 
Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this 
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish 
Its been a couple months since I've single so 
You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho 
Get it, hehe, I'd probably visit where Katrina hit 
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did 
Yeah can't forget about me stupid 
Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music 
 
   D            E        F#m 
Oh every time I close my eyes 
  D              E       F#m 
I see my name in shining lights 
D           E          A     G#m 
 A different city every night oh 
 
F#m E D                      C#

F#m    Bm 
 ohoh ohoh for when I'm a billionaire 
 
                A 
I'll be playing basketball with the president. 
Dunking on his delegates. 
             C# 
Then I compliment on his political etiquette. 
              F#m 
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it 
             E 
But keep the fives, twentys, tens, and bens completely separate 
And yeah I'll be in a whole new tax bracket 
We in recession but let me take a crack at it 
I'll probably take whatevers left and just split it up 
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks 
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was 
Eating good sleeping soundly 
I know we all have a similar dream 
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet 
And put it in the air and sing 
 
A                         C# 
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad 
F#m                            E 
Buy all of the things I never had 
A                               C# 
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine 
F#m                            E 
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen 
 
   D            E        F#m 
Oh every time I close my eyes 
  D              E       F#m 
I see my name in shining lights 
D           E          A     G#m 
 A different city every night oh 
 
F#m E D                      C# 
I - I swear the world better prepare 
                     F#m 
For when I'm a billionaire 
F#m    Bm 
 ohoh ohoh for when I'm a billionaire!
