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