Baker - Aimee Carty | Guitar Chords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Db
  Once upon a time I was a baker
         Ab        Bbm   Ab
And everybody was impressed
      Gb                                                    Ab
But I didn't need approval because I already knew I was the best
                        Db
Everything I made was a masterpiece
       Ab       Bbm
It all taste like heaven
    Ab     Gb                   Ab
But then unfortunately I turned seven
                         Db
Once upon a time I was a painter

[Verse 2]
---------------------
         Ab       Bbm
And everybody said, "Wow"
      Ab        Gb
"Girl you're so clever, you're so talented"
        Ab
And I agreed and I stood proud
          Db
I painted mountains I painted blue lakes
Ab
          Bbm
I painted people I drew portraits
Ab
           Gb
But then I drew my dad and held it up beside him
      Ab
And I realised that it looked nothing like him

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
    Bbm                 Ab           Gb
And part of me wished nobody had told  her
Ab    Bbm                   Ab             Gb
But I guess it's just a part  of getting older
Ab            Ab         Db
  Once upon a time I was a runner

[Verse 3]
---------------------
          Ab           Bbm
I was the fastest in the town
                       Ab            Gb
And they'd all say, "Nobody will out run her"
                               Ab
"Cause she's the fastest girl around"
                         Db
Once upon a time I was a dancer It took no effort
Ab
        Bbm                       Ab
I was a scientist, I was an expert
        Gb
I was a genius and I thought nothing of it
Ab
  Until they told me that I wasn't

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    Bbm                 Ab           Gb
And part of me wished nobody had told  her
Ab    Bbm                   Ab             Gb
But I guess it's just a part  of getting older
When you learn

[Bridge]
---------------------
          Db
You're supposed to colour perfectly inside of the lines
              Ab
And you're supposed to win at least a couple hundred of times
           Bbm                             Ab                             Gb
Before you even have the right to think or say or show you're any good at all
                              Db
They'll tell you that there's only one right way, one paved path
          Ab
Or you'll make a fool of yourself and everyone will laugh
        Bbm                            Ab                                Gb
They'll make you feel like everybody's waiting there to watch you as you fall

[Outro]
---------------------
     Bbm                      Ab
They sigh, they tell me I'm a dreamer
                           Gb
They say, "Someone's gotta wake her"
         Ab   Bbm
But I'll just smile, I'll say
Ab                       Db   Ab
Once upon a time I was a baker
Gb | Ab | Db
