_ _ _ I'm Christina [F] Grimmie.
I'm [G] 19 and I'm from [E] New Jersey. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ I grew [G] up always loving to sing in the [E] first place.
I was [Am] probably five years old when I wrote my very first [E] song.
YouTube happened by my friend Lauren, my best [Am] friend in the world.
Christina, I [F] have an idea.
You have some [G] views on YouTube.
You should become [E] a singer!
And she [A] showed [G] me this [F] young lady on YouTube of her [G] singing, you know, whatever.
And [A] I was like, you know what?
I'll give it a shot.
And [F] my very first video [G] was a Hannah Montana [Ab] song. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [A] People took [F] a liking to it and I was like, oh, [G] this is cool.
Like, you know, if people [E] like it and they're requesting [Am] songs, then [F] I'll just keep posting more.
[G] _ Honest to God, I [Am] didn't think anything of it.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] The very first [G] time I [F] sang in front of people [G] was at my church when I was [A] 12.
I was doing okay until I think [F] I messed up a lyric, but it [G] honestly was one of those things where it didn't [Am] matter at all.
No one [A] would ever be able to tell.
[F] But I did one of these.
I was [G] like_
Na na na.
Oh.
[E] _ Na na na.
And the whole [C] rest of it was [Ebm] just_
_ [G] What the heck was [G] that?
I don't even know.
[Eb] Ow!
[G] That was_
that was terrible.
[F] I get the worst [G] nerves _ ever [E] _ _ _
[Am] before a [G] show.
[F] However, as soon [G] as I walk on a [A] stage, they're gone. _
However, _ [F] the nerves are gone, but [G] the nerves are still in my [E] cords.
I've gotten much [Am] better at that, [G] I would think.
[F] I still get nerves before [G] a show.
It always happens.
They're [Am] good nerves.
It's more like, ah, like I can't wait kind of [F] thing.
Having a band [G] play behind you is [E] just like the greatest thing [Am] ever.
It's just so fun [F] because we're all rocking out to the same song.
Oh my god! _ _ _
_ _ _ _ My favorite [G] artist growing up was [E] definitely _ Stacy [A] Erico.
[G] She _ [F] was_
She's [G] a Christian artist, but she [Am] sang like R&B, pop, and she basically [F] got me into _
[G] _ soul [E] vocals. _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ Food, [Gm] music, video games is the Triforce of [Am] Christina.
And then, above all, all of this [F] connected into one_
[G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] Christina.
_ _ [E] _ Sounds corny, [G] but_
That's how I live, fool!
[A] _ _ Well, I'm [Am] a very strong believer.
[F] My family is, [G] you know_
[E] I grew up in the church.
[A] I grew up [G] _ _ [F] having a belief in [G] Christ, and I do.
But [A] it's a relationship for me, you know?
I take [F] it very seriously, and_
[G] I've never really been the kind of [E] person that wants to shove [Am] it in your face.
You know what I [F] mean?
That doesn't mean I don't like to live it [G] out, because obviously I do.
[Am] But I've never been like, you have to believe what I [F] believe.
You know, I just [G] speak on it, and then [Am] just kind of leave it up to [A] God at that point.
I'm not like, I'm trying to sell you [G] something! _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] Dog or cow.
