D5
Now I’m in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound
F5
Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd
G5
That’s you now, ciao, seems that life is great now
Bb5 C5
See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
D5

I’ll say the words that make you blush
G5 Bb5
I’m gonna sing this now

Ow ow

I’m not you, now that would be disastrous
Bb5 C5
Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
D5
See, I’m real, I do it all, it’s all me
F5
I’m not fake, don’t ever call me lazy

I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse
F5
Hell, don't need another word-smith to make my tune sell
G5
Call yourself a singer-writer - you’re just bluffing
Bb5 C5
Your name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing
D5
I sing fast, I know that all my shit’s cool
F5
I will blast and I didn’t go to Brit School
G5
I came fast with the way I act, right
Bb5 C5
I can’t last if I’m smoking on a crack pipe
D5
And I won’t be a product of my genre
F5
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
G5
Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
Bb5 C5
Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia
D5
And musically I’m demonstrating
F5
When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
G5
Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me
Bb5 C5

At stadium heights with Damien Rice
G5
On red carpets, now I’m on Arabian Nights
Bb5 C5
Because I’m young I know my brother's gonna give me advice
D5
Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper
F5
Never be anything but a singer-songwriter, yeah.
G5
The game's over but now I’m on a new level
Bb5 C5
Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
D5
People think that I’m bound to blow up
F5
I’ve done around about a thousand shows
