Spoken:
[G]Hey
It’s been a while since you saw my face
[G7]I haven’t been doing so great
So I took a little break
[C]a lot of people are saying some things about me that aren’t quite true
[D7]Doesn’t matter if it’s true though
Just as long as it’s entertaining to y[G]you, right?
You guys having fun?
Chorus:

Interlude:
[G]
Spoken:
[G]Uh, hi everyone
[G]I’ve been wanting to come online and talk to you about a few things
[G]Um, even though my team has strongly advised me to not say what I want to say
[G]I recently realized that they never said that I couldn’t sing what I wanna say, so
[G]Here I am, and, um, today I only wanna talk about the facts
[G]So, I hope that you’ll be willing to listen
[G]Here we go
[G]Many years ago, I used to message my fans
[G]Uh, but not in a creepy way like a lot of you are trying to suggest
[G]It was more of a loser kind of way
[G]Where I was just trying to be besties with everybody
[G]It was kinda like, uh when you go to like a family gathering, you know?
[G]And there’s a weird aunt there who keeps coming
up to you and going like “Hey girl, what’s the tea!”
[G]And you’re like “Ehhh”
[G]Um, that was me, but in group chats with my fans, it was weird
Verse 1:
[G]I’ve been sharing my life online for over 15 years
[G]I’ve poured my heart out to and because of that I feel
[C]Like I’m talking to my friends, but, in the beginning of my career
[D7]I didn’t really understand that maybe there should be some boundaries there
[C]There were times in the [G]DMs when I would overshare
[D7]Details of my life, w[G]which was really weird of me
[C]I haven’t done that for y[G]years, you see
[D7]Because I changed my behavior, and I took a[G]accountability
Spoken:
But that’s not very interesting, is it?
Chorus:
[G]So let’s go on the toxic gossip t[G7]train
[C]The locomotive’s fueled with ha[D7]hateful accusations
[G]The toxic gossip t[G7]train
[C]Steamroll over someone’s re[D7]reputation
[G]Toxic gossip tr[G7]train
[C]Hop on board, but close your eyes, otherw[Cm]otherwise you’ll realize
[G]That the train is made of lies and that [E7]person you despise
[C]Maybe didn’t deserve to die, but [D7]hey
At least you’re havi[G]havin’ fun
Spoken:
[G]In all seriousness, I do think it’s really
important to hold people accountable for their mistakes
[G]Um, y’know, we should hope that everyone can learn from their mistakes
[G]And grow, and change their behavior, and be a better person
[G]This is something that I’ve always tried to do when I make mistakes
[G]And is something that I will continue to try t- what?
Oh, you don’t care? Oh, okay
Verse 2:
[G]I thought you wanted me to take accountability
[G7]But that’s not the point of your mob mentality is it, no
[C]Your goal is to ruin the life of the person you despise
[D7]While you dramatize your lies and monetize their de[G]demise
Spoken:
[G]Yeah, um, I feel like I can already hear the comments on this video
[C]“She’s gaslighting, manipulating!”
[G]“Ugh, she’s a narcissist and a rat!”
[D7]“I would never make a mistake like that.”
Verse 3:
[G]Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t realize
[G]That all of you are perfect, so please, criticize me
[C]Bring out the daggers made from your perfect past
[D7]And stab me repeatedly in my bony little back
[C]I’m sure you’re dis[G]appointed in my xx[D7]xxty little s[G]ong
[C]I know that you wanted me to [G]say that I was 1[D7]100% in the w[G]wrong
[C]Well, I’m sorry, I’m not gonna t[G]take that route
[D7]Of admitting to lies and rumors that you [G]made up for clout
Verse 4:
[G]Hey everybody, I found someone new to harass
[G7]She did some things that I do not like, in her past
[C]So everybody, gather ’round, ’cause we’re about to a[D7]attack
[D7]But not based on facts, oh no
[C]Your loaded lethal weapon is your f[Cm]fingers on the keys
[G]You don’t need any armor when you can h[E7]hide behind a screen
[C]So, shoot me down, quick, with a c[D7]click, and bam
My reputation’s dec[G]deceased
Spoken:
[G]Uh, I also wanted to take a minute to talk about that girl, Miranda Sings
[G7]You know the one, yeah her
[C]Uh, she’s PG- , it says that on my website
Verse 5:
[C]And it’s always been that way
[D7]And that’s why you won’t find my videos on the YouTube Kids app
Anyway, um, I didn’t r[C]realize it was my re[G]responsibility
[D7]To decide what was appropriate for every k[G]kid to see
[C]I’ve always relied on parents to d[G]decide if they’re comfortable
[D7]With their families watching my YouTube videos or c[G]coming to my live shows
[G]Now, have I made some jokes in poor taste? Yes
[G7]Have I made lots of dumb mistakes? Yes
[C]Am I sad that there’s some fans that feel betrayed? Yes
[D7]But was my intention to manipulate? No
Spoken:
[G]It doesn’t really matter what my intention was
[G]‘Cause it seems as though everyone’s already decided on that
[G]Let me tell you, it’s not very fun to have millions of people all over the world
[G]Call you the most vile, horrendous, disgusting, life-ruining words
[G]That a person can be called, in my opinion
[G]Um, it doesn’t matter that these things aren’t true
[G]Uh, everyone just believes that you are the
type of person who manipulates and abuses children
So, I just wanted to say that, um
[G]The only thing that I’ve ever groomed [G7]is my 2 Persian cats
[C]I’m not a groomer, [Cm]I’m just a loser
Verse 6:
[G]Who didn’t understand I shouldn’t res[G7]respond to fans
[C]And I’m not a predator even though [Cm]a lot of you think so
[G]Because 5 years ago, I made a [D7]fart joke
So,
[C]even though I know this video won’t ch[G]change anyone’s mind about me
I still felt it was important [D7]to come on here and defend myself a little
And t[G]take accountability
And I also wanted to say that
To an[C]anyone out there who has ever sup[G]supported me in any capacity
Spoken:
[D7]I really, really appreciate you, thank you
For what it’s worth, I never had any bad intentions
But I do feel like xxxx
Chorus:
[G]The toxic gossip tr[G7]train
[C]Chugging down the tracks of m[D7]misinformation
[G]The toxic gossip tra[G7]train
[C]You got a one way ticket to m[D7]manipulation station
[G]Toxic gossip tr[G7]train
[C]Tie me to the tracks and ha[Cm]harass me for my past
[G]Rumors look like facts when you don’t m[E7]mind the gaps
[C]I won’t survive in the crash but [D7]hey
I hope you had some fun
Spoken:
Actually, y’know,[G]y’know, I feel like maybe I should
[G]Let you guys know something, um
[G]Seems like, maybe you’re confused about something? I don’t know
Let me try to help, um
Verse 7:
[G]Sometimes people make a mistake and it doesn’t make them a horrible person, whoa
[C]Sometimes people can make a mistake and they’re s[D7]still a good person
Crazy, I know
[G]Sometimes people can make a mistake and you don’t [G7]have to take that mistake, oh no
[C]And twist it up, and grind it, and add some lies to it, and pulverize it
[C]And stab it with knives, and ruin a life, and, oh no
[G]Sometimes people can make a mistake, it doesn’t m[G7]mean you gotta send them hate, oh no
[C]Sometimes people can make a mistake and you
can ki[D7]kindly let them know, and help them to grow
[C]Sometimes people m[G]ake mistakes, simply b[G]ecause they made a mi[E7]stake?
[C]And that mistake doesn’t make them a terrible h[D7]human
It just makes them a h[G]human
Spoken:
But what do I know?
xxxx me, right?
The ukulele is easier to learn than the guitar and other stringed instruments like the mandolin. Its soft nylon strings are gentler on your fingertips and don’t create finger pain like guitars do. … Plus, it only has four strings, which makes chord shapes and scales easier to learn.
