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

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             A
And now I'm sayin' no more melon cakes on birthdays
Bm           Em       D/F#
No more barricades in doorways
G              A

You could find me starvin' 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
              N.C.
No more melon cake
