[Verse 1]
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
Pulled leather over my eyes,
Em
in a hundred-degree heat
D
People, out here gettin' fired for
chocolate in the backseat
(It's a true story)
G
I had too much of my fill and
Em
turns out it wasn't cheap
D
People, always hung around to
only want it skin deep
[Chorus]
N.C. G
And now I'm sayin' no more
A
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
You could find mе starvin' for
A
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
Pulled leather over my eyes,
Em
in a hundred-degree heat
D
People, out here gettin' fired for
chocolate in the backseat
G
I had too much of my fill and
Em
turns out it wasn't cheap
D
People, always hung around to
only want it skin deep
[Chorus]
N.C. G
And now I'm sayin' no more
A
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
You could find me starvin'
A
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
And now I'm sayin' no more

Bm Em D/F#
No more barricades in doorways
G A
Finally get to do things my way
