Intro:
G
Verse:
G Em7
There's something about it, it gets stuck in my head
D Cadd9
The cryptically writing the words are calmly said
G Em7
And maybe it's stupid but I think it's fun
D Cadd9
To act like a grown up in a town undone
Pre-Chorus
G Em7
And I'm not trying to make a stab it's just a harmless joke
D Cadd9
And I'm just trying to take a chance to see how far it goes
G
So I've grown up in summer days
Cadd9 D Cadd9
But I just thought I'd see how it sounds from London town
G Cadd9 D
And I've lived like a country kid but I'd just thought I'd try out something else
Cadd9 D G
But it kinda turned out welsh
Verse:
G Em7
I wish I was Ed Sheeran or in the Rolling Stones
D Cadd9
I'd have tea with Mr. Zeppelin and try right rock and roll
G Em7
And they've got Harry Potter and Dumbledore and snake
D Cadd9
And we try to claim the holic when the cast is all you gave
Pre-Chorus
G Em7
And I'm not trying to make a fuss I guess I'm just intrigued
D Cadd9
And singing in this accent gets me closer to the queen
G
So I've grown up in forest scenes
Cadd9 D Cadd9
But I just thought I'd see the way it sounds from London town
G Cadd9 D
And I've lived like a surfer kid but I got bored and tried out something else
Cadd9 D G
But it kinda turned out welsh
Cadd9 D G
Cadd9 D G
I think I'll just stick to myself
