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