G Em
There was a time
D
I was livin' as a prisoner inside my own mind
G Em
And there was a time
D
Where the cat and mouse tried to make me
Barbie sized and I obliged
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
Pulled leather over my eyes, in a hundred-degree heat
D
People, out here gettin' fired for chocolate in the backseat (It's a true story)
G Em
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap
D
People, always hung around to only want it skin deep
[Chorus]
N.C. G A
And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakеs on birthdays
Bm Em D/F#
No more barricades in doorways
G A
Finally get to do things my way
D Bm
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
G A
You could find mе starvin' for attention most days
Bm Em D/F#
Amongst other things, God help me
G A
Finally get to do things my way
D Bm
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
N.C. G
No more melon cake
[Verse 2]
Em
There was a time
D
I was pulled in all directions and forgot about mine
G Em
But I wouldn't wish
D
Those thoughts on my worst enemy, they make you wish you don't exist
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em
Pulled leather over my eyes, in a hundred-degree heat
D
People, out here gettin' fired for chocolate in the backseat
G Em
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap
D
People, always hung around to only want it skin deep
[Chorus]
N.C. G A
And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays
Bm Em D/F#
No more barricades in doorways
G A
Finally get to do things my way
D Bm
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
G A
You could find me starvin' for attention most days
Bm Em D/F#
Amongst other things, God help me
G A
Finally get to do things my way
D Bm
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
[Post-Chorus]
G
No more melon cake
A
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
Bm
No more melon cake
Em
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
G
No more melon cake
A
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
D
No more melon cake
Bm
Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
[Bridge]
G Em
Dear little me
D
I'm sorry that it took so long
But baby, you're free
[Chorus]
N.C. G A
And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays
Bm Em D/F#
No more barricades in doorways
G A
Finally get to do things my way
D Bm
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
G A
You could find me starvin' for attention most days
Bm Em D/F#
Amongst other things, God help me
G A
Finally get to do things my way
D Bm
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
N.C.
No more melon cake
