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