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

Chorus:
        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

Chorus:
        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
