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