[Dbm]
[Abm] I am Lewis [A] Capaldi and this is my journey.
[B] [Dbm]
[Abm] [A]
[Gbm] [E]
So I'm heading back to my home town, to that house there.
I found [Ab] dismembered limbs underneath
the floorboards.
[F] Gruesome stuff.
Kissed my first girl outside that pub.
I wasn't inside
the pub, I was 12.
She said I had really wet, smelly lips.
[Gb] Look, things have changed.
Got
a few more hairs on my [Ab] chest.
It's also the small matter of [Ab] global success.
I wouldn't
be surprised if they erected a monument outside my house or something.
There's a plaque.
Maybe
there's a plaque on the wall.
How many are we [N] expecting then?
A couple of thousand?
[A]
Right
then, here we are, back home, back to the scene of the crime.
Everybody must be at work.
So here we are, [Dbm] my bedroom.
A lot of good times spent in between these very sheets.
Got pretty hot and sweaty some nights.
[B] There was one particular time, [Dbm] I probably shouldn't
be saying this, but I watched the entire Lord of [A] the Rings film series back to back [Gbm] and
I was in here for [E] days.
I didn't open any windows, it really locked in the heat, it
was disgusting.
This book right here is just, I'm just [Gb] constantly, I'll write something,
I can write something now.
I love you, I love you, why did you leave me?
Please don't leave
me.
Seriously, please don't leave me.
I love you, please [B] don't leave me.
Don't leave me.
I don't want to live with my parents anymore.
[Dbm] So here we go, [Db] tracksuit, designer.
[Abm] I don't
really think that [A] I'm much different now to when I was before I had the songs and that
I do as [Dbm] well as they are.
I'm just a lot busier.
I'm not home as [Abm] much anymore.
[A]
[B] I don't
[Ab] think my personality's changed that much because [Ab] of what I'm doing.
I think that's just [Abm] a part
of getting older.
I think people can smell, you know, someone who's being disingenuous
from a mile off.
Good to be back.
Yes, yes, yes, the prodigal son returns, good to be
back.
So the Grange was the place that I started where I cut my teeth, [D] if you will.
How you doing?
We'll do pictures later, we'll do pictures later, alright?
Good to be back.
Pine, please.
[Ab] If people got word that they had Lewis Capaldi playing in the Grange, it
was like hordes of people would come out, people would be [Gm] lining the streets.
On piano, piano.
No matter what, the [Am] owners, they always [G] supported that, so yeah, I owe
them a lot.
You know Sam Smith, toured with him a couple of times, no big deal.
It's just
got everything you could want.
Great atmosphere, great people.
Pedal board.
Shall we do one of mine?
[Dbm]
If [A] you're looking for chips and you don't want to put proper trousers on, [Gb] this is the
place for you.
Myself, Diane Abbott, the Archbishop of [E] Canterbury, half the cast of EastEnders
and Vladimir Putin himself are the only people I'm aware of who have a pizza named after
them and this is it here, we got, it's a pizza, it's definitely a pizza.
LC, my initials, let's get that in the oven, mate.
Sometimes you need to look [F] someone in, if someone comes up and goes, oh Lewis, can I
get an autograph?
Can you get a picture with my [Abm] daughter, please?
Can you get a picture
with my daughter?
She's not been very well, you just need to go, get lost.
Because sometimes
it's just you're sick, you're sick of it.
[Ab] If you're sick of it, you just need to go,
get lost, you and your daughter.
Get lost, I don't care.
[Db] Bye.
I think being Scottish, you don't get your [Ab] ideas above your station.
It's [Bbm] me.
[Gb] If I need to be dead in 60 years, I'm [Db] not going to begrudge that.
But I just want to be [Ab] alive and [Db] doing music in some capacity.
That's the goal.
I just
would like to not be dead.
That's [Ab] assault.
That's assault, you [Bbm] understand?
Just having a laugh, not taking [Db] things too seriously and enjoying it.
Because this thing
is where I don't have any [Ab] grand expectations for my fledgling [Db] career as an artist.
So I
don't have any expectations.
And even if I did, the stuff that we've already done has
[Ab] smashed those expectations.
You look [Bbm] lovely.
I don't have any more expectations to put my hand out and ask for any more, I think
would be [Db] foolish.
And we're close amongst men.
[Ab] We're close amongst [Bbm] men.
