Hi Toxic Gossip Train Chords by Colleen Ballinger

[Intro]

G G
 
[Spoken]
G
Hey
It's been a while 

since you saw my face
G7
I haven't been doing so great

So I took a little break
G
A lot of people are saying 

some things about me 

that aren't quite true
D7
Doesn't matter if it's 

true though
                      
Just as long as it's 
                 G
entertaining to you, right?

You guys having fun?
 

[Chorus]
G                            G7
All aboard the toxic gossip train
C                      
Chugging down the tracks of 
 D7
misinformation
G                   G7
The toxic gossip train
C                        
You got a one way ticket to 
 D7
manipulation station
G              G7
Toxic gossip train
C                        
Tie me to the tracks and 
   Cm
harass me for my past
G                              
Those rumors look like facts 
             E7
if you don't mind the gaps
C                                D7
I won't survive in the crash but hey
N.C.                   G
At least you're havin' fun
 
G
 
[Spoken]
G
Uh, hi everyone
G
I've been wanting to come online 

and talk to you about a few things
G
Um, even though my team has 

strongly advised me to not say 

what I want to say
G
I recently realized that 

they never said that I couldn't sing 

what I wanna say, so
G
Here I am, and, um, today 

I only wanna talk about the facts
G
So, I hope that you'll be 

willing to listen
G
Here we go
G
Many years ago, 

I used to message my fans
G
Uh, but not in a creepy way 

like a lot of you are 

trying to suggest
G
It was more of a loser kind of way
G
Where I was just trying to be 

besties with everybody
G
It was kinda like, uh when you 

go to like a family gathering, 

you know?
G
And there's a weird aunt 

there who keeps coming up to 

you and going like 

"Hey girl, what's the tea!"
G
And you're like "Ehhh"
G
Um, that was me, but in 

group chats with my fans, 

it was weird
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
I've been sharing my life 

online for over 15 years
G
I've poured my heart 

out to and because of that I feel
C
Like I'm talking to my friends, 

but, in the beginning of my career
D7
I didn't really understand 

that maybe there should be 

some boundaries there
C                       G
There were times in the DMs 

when I would overshare
D7                   G
Details of my life, which was 

really weird of me
C                        G
I haven't done that for years, 

you see
D7                           
Because I changed my behavior, 
            G
and I took accountability
 

[Spoken]
N.C.
But that's not very interesting, is it?
 
[Chorus]
G                                G7
So let's go on the toxic gossip train
C                            
The locomotive's fueled with 
  D7
hateful accusations
G                 G7
The toxic gossip train
C                          D7
Steamroll over someone's reputation
G              G7
Toxic gossip train
C                                
Hop on board, but close your eyes, 
      Cm
otherwise you'll realize
G                             
That the train is made of lies 
         E7
and that person you despise
C                                D7
Maybe didn't deserve to die, but hey
N.C.                    G
At least you're havin' fun
 
[Spoken]
G
In all seriousness, I do think 

it's really important to hold 

people accountable for their mistakes
G
Um, y'know, we should hope that 

everyone can learn from their mistakes
G
And grow, and change their behavior, 

and be a better person
G
This is something that 

I've always tried to do 

when I make mistakes
G
And is something that I will 

continue to try t- what?
N.C.
Oh, you don't care? Oh, okay
 

[Verse 2]
G
I thought you wanted me 

to take accountability
G7
But that's not the point of 

your mob mentality is it, no
C
Your goal is to ruin 

the life of the person you despise
D7                            
While you dramatize your lies 
                     G
and monetize their demise
 

[Spoken]
G
Yeah, um, I feel like I can 

already hear the comments on this video
C
"She's gaslighting, manipulating!"
G
"Ugh, she's a narcissist and a rat!"
D7
"I would never make a mistake like that."
 

[Verse 3]
G
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize
G
That all of you are perfect, 

so please, criticize me
C
Bring out the daggers 

made from your perfect past
D7
And stab me repeatedly in my 

bony little back
C                  G          
I'm sure you're disappointed 
        D7           G
in my s*itty little song
C                            G    
I know that you wanted me to say 
            D7          G
that I was 100% in the wrong
C                            
Well, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna 
 G
take that route
D7                                  
Of admitting to lies and rumors that 
    G
you made up for clout
 

[Verse 4]
G
Hey everybody, I found 

someone new to harass
G7
She did some things that 

I do not like, in her past
C                            
So everybody, gather 'round, 
                       D7
'cause we're about to attack
D7
But not based on facts, oh no
C                               
Your loaded lethal weapon is your 
 Cm
fingers on the keys
G                        
You don't need any armor 
              E7
when you can hide behind a screen
C                          
So, shoot me down, quick, 
        D7        N.C.
with a click, and bam
                   G
My reputation's deceased
 
 
[Spoken]
G
Uh, I also wanted to take a minute 

to talk about that girl, 

Miranda Sings
G7
You know the one, yeah her
C
Uh, she's PG-13, it says 

that on my website
 
[Verse 5]
C
And it's always been that way
D7
And that's why you won't 

find my videos on the YouTube Kids app
                      C      
Anyway, um, I didn't realize 
            G
it was my responsibility
D7                               
To decide what was appropriate for 
       G
every kid to see
C                                
I've always relied on parents 
    G
to decide if they're comfortable
D7                              
With their families watching my 
                   G
YouTube videos or coming to my live shows
G                            
Now, have I made some jokes 
               N.C
in poor taste? Yes
G7                                 N.C.
Have I made lots of dumb mistakes? Yes
C                              
Am I sad that there's some fans 
                    N.C
that feel betrayed? Yes
D7                                  N.C.
But was my intention to manipulate? No
 

[Spoken]
G
It doesn't really matter 

what my intention was
G
'Cause it seems as though 

everyone's already decided on that
G
Let me tell you, it's not very 

fun to have millions of people 

all over the world
G
Call you the most vile, 

horrendous, disgusting, 

life-ruining words
G
That a person can be called, 

in my opinion
G
Um, it doesn't matter that 

these things aren't true
G                               
Uh, everyone just believes that 

you are the type of person 
     N.C
who manipulates 

and abuses children
N.C.
So, I just wanted to say that, um
G                                  
The only thing that I've ever groomed 
G7
is my 2 Persian cats
C                  Cm
I'm not a groomer, I'm just a loser
 

[Verse 6]
G                                
Who didn't understand I shouldn't 
   G7
respond to fans
C                       
And I'm not a predator 
            Cm
even though a lot of you think so
G                    
Because 5 years ago, 
         D7
I made a f*rt joke
N.C.
So,
C                            
even though I know this video 
        G
won't change anyone's mind about me
N.C.                             
I still felt it was important to 
 D7
come on here and defend myself a little
     G
And take accountability
N.C.
And I also wanted to say that
     C                          
To anyone out there who has ever 
   G
supported me in any capacity
 

[Spoken]
D7
I really, really appreciate you, 

thank you
N.C.
For what it's worth, I never had 

any bad intentions
N.C.
But I do feel like shit
 

[Chorus]
G                  G7
The toxic gossip train
C                         
Chugging down the tracks of 
  D7
misinformation
G                   G7
The toxic gossip train
C                         
You got a one way ticket to 
 D7
manipulation station
G              G7
Toxic gossip train
C                       
Tie me to the tracks and 
  Cm
harass me for my past
G                    
Rumors look like facts 
                E7
when you don't mind the gaps
C                                D7
I won't survive in the crash but hey
N.C.
I hope you had some fun
 

[Spoken]
N.C.                 G
Actually, y'know, I feel like 

maybe I should
G
Let you guys know something, um
G
Seems like, maybe you're confused 

about something? I don't know
N.C.
Let me try to help, um
 

[Verse 7]
G
Sometimes people make a mistake 

and it doesn't make them a 

horrible person, whoa
C                         
Sometimes people can make a 
                     D7
mistake and they're still a good person
N.C.
Crazy, I know
G                             
Sometimes people can make a 
                      G7
mistake and you don't have to 

take that mistake, oh no
C
And twist it up, and grind it, 

and add some lies to it, 

and pulverize it
C                       
And stab it with knives, 
                      N.C
and ruin a life, and, oh no
G                                  
Sometimes people can make a mistake, 
            G7
it doesn't mean you gotta 

send them hate, oh no
C                         
Sometimes people can make a 
                      D7
mistake and you can kindly 

let them know, and help them to grow
C                 G            
Sometimes people make mistakes, 
        G                    E7
simply because they made a mistake?
C                       
And that mistake doesn't 
                      D7
make them a terrible human
                      G
It just makes them a human
 
[Spoken]
N.C.
But what do I know?
N.C.
Fuck me, right?
