Intro
A#m Fm F# C# 3x
[Verse 1]
A#m
I grew up in a small house
Fm
Near a cemetery, you could hear them howl
F# C#
As they lower the ones they love in the ground
[Verse 2]
A#m
I pulled out my own baby teeth
Fm
The pain never seemed to bother me
F# C#
I made friends with the kids down the street
[Verse 3]
A#m
I better go, it's gettin' late
Fm
I've been outside all day
F# C#
On the walk home work out what I'll say
[Chorus]
A#m
And I still lose it every now and then
Fm
In an interview or a photoshoot
F# C#
I could be halfway through a show and it all comes creepin' in
A#m
And I've sacrificed all my friends
Fm
Birthdays, weddings, everything
F# C#
And it's heartbreaking but this is my dream
A#m
And I did it all without a phone call
Fm
Or a Christmas card, you have no heart
F# C#
This is my way of saying, "Don't start”
[Verse 4]
A#m
You should see the shows I play
Fm
And hear them sing the words I say
F# C#
I wonder sometimes if you're in the crowd
[Verse 5]
A#m
'Cause I needed help, I needed love
Fm
I needed care needed a hug
F# C#
I needed praise, I needed time with you
[Verse 6]
A#m
And it plays on my mind
Fm
All the time, all the time
F# C#
I wanna love you, but I need you to try
[Chorus]
A#m
And I still lose it every now and then
Fm
In an interview or a photoshoot
F# C#
I could be halfway through a show and it all comes creepin' in
A#m
And I've sacrificed all my friends
Fm
Birthdays, weddings, everything
F# C#
And it's heartbreaking but this is my dream
A#m
And I did it all without a phone call
Fm
Or a Christmas card, you have no heart
F# C#
This is my way of saying, "Don't start”
[Finale]
A#m
Don't start now, I'm winning
Fm
And finally happy
F# C#
Don't start now, I've done all the years of hard work
A#m
Don't start taking over
Fm
And asking for favors
F# C#
Please just don't start now that I'm Amy Shark
