🎸 Intro:
Am Em F C 3x


🎸 Verse 1:
   Am
I grew up in a small house
       Em
Near a cemetery, you could hear them howl
         F                               C
As they lower the ones they love in the ground

🎸 Verse 2:
   Am
I pulled out my own baby teeth
     Em
The pain never seemed to bother me
        F                              C
I made friends with the kids down the street

🎸 Verse 3:
  Am
I better go, it's gettin' late
     Em
I've been outside all day
        F                            C
On the walk home work out what I'll say

🎸 Chorus:
            Am
And I still lose it every now and then
      Em
In an interview or a photoshoot
            F                                               C
I could be halfway through a show and it all comes creepin' in
         Am
And I've sacrificed all my friends
 Em
Birthdays, weddings, everything
          F                            C
And it's heartbreaking but this is my dream
      Am
And I did it all without a phone call
      Em
Or a Christmas card, you have no heart
 F                                C
This is my way of saying, "Don't start”

🎸 Verse 4:
Am
You should see the shows I play
    Em
And hear them sing the words I say
   F                                 C
I wonder sometimes if you're in the crowd

🎸 Verse 5:
                Am
'Cause I needed help, I needed love
          Em
I needed care needed a hug
          F                            C
I needed praise, I needed time with you

🎸 Verse 6:
        Am
And it plays on my mind
         Em
All the time, all the time
         F                           C
I wanna love you, but I need you to try

🎸 Chorus:
            Am
And I still lose it every now and then
      Em
In an interview or a photoshoot
            F                                               C
I could be halfway through a show and it all comes creepin' in
         Am
And I've sacrificed all my friends
 Em
Birthdays, weddings, everything
          F                            C
And it's heartbreaking but this is my dream
      Am
And I did it all without a phone call
      Em
Or a Christmas card, you have no heart
 F                                C
This is my way of saying, "Don't start”

Finale:
                     Am
Don't start now, I'm winning
            Em
And finally happy
                       F                          C
Don't start now, I've done all the years of hard work
                   Am
Don't start taking over
               Em
And asking for favors
                   F                      C
Please just don't start now that I'm Amy Shark
