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