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