Biography:
Jorja Smith is an English singer from Walsall, UK. Smith impressed many and earned attention with her hip-hop and R&B-inspired debut single "Blue Lights" and has taken the rest of the year to deliver songs that fuse soul, blues, and even classical. She spent much of 2016 getting people very excited about her effortless, informed, and deeply soulful pop with a trio of eclectic singles. Her first EP Project 11 arrives so perfectly formed it almost feels like showing off. Many songs mark Smith out as her hero Amy Winehouse’s truest successor.

Gm F6 Cm Dmaj
1, 2, 3, check
Gm F6 Cm Dmaj
1, 2, 3,
[Verse 1: Jorja Smith]
Gm F6
Why am I gonna apologize?
Cm Dmaj
What have I even done?
Gm F6
Why you acting like you lost the crown
Cm Dmaj
If you were never wearing one?
Gm F6
Falling ever deeper, dealing cards now
Cm Dmaj
Now you can't recognize yourself on the deck
Gm F6
I thought I was your queen of hearts
Cm Dmaj
But all the aces stole the check
[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Gm F6
A prince, a prince
Cm Dmaj
A glorious game
Gm F6
A prince, a prince
Cm Dmaj
Checkmate 'til you stole me away
[Verse 2: Jorja Smith]
Gm F6
Cursing words, am I a pauper now?
Cm Dmaj
Even though all my shoes do fit
Gm F6
Won't even let me leave the house past 12
Cm Dmaj
I ain't no fairytale chick
Gm F6
Happy endings cloud your head now
Cm Dmaj
You have put your expectations too high
Gm F6
Sit on the bed, tears running down our eyes
Cm Dmaj
Once upon a time, I wonder why
[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Gm F6
A prince, a prince
Cm Dmaj
A glorious game
Gm F6
A prince, a prince
Cm Dmaj
Checkmate 'til you stole me away
[Verse 3: Maverick Sabre]
Gm
Darling hold on a second
F6
You know that your eyes and your smile are a weapon
Cm
Now come here, why won't you just listen?
Dmaj
You tell me I'm hurting your arm with my grip
Gm
See now trust me, but never trust women
F6
Yeah they're perfect, I'm at home stressed
Cm
With this skunk spliff
Dmaj
When I know that you're out on the road being faithless
Does it make sense?
Gm
And my insecurities don't pay rent
F6
But they're living with me
Cm
And this is a disease
Dmaj
We live in a man's world so what you expect me to be?
Gm
Now, now, now
F6
Whether it's the shit sex or this limp dick
Cm
My reflection keeps telling me sick things
You know that I'm ugly
Dmaj
I hope that you want me, I'll make sure you love me
[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Gm F6
A prince, a prince
Cm Dmaj
A glorious game
Gm F6
A prince, a prince
Cm Dmaj
Checkmate 'til you stole me away
[Outro: Maverick Sabre]
Gm F6
No I've never been a prince, no, no
Cm Dmaj
And I tried to be a king, oh Lord
Gm F6
Said I've never been a prince, no, no
Cm Dmaj
And I tried to be a king, but I let you down, my queen
Oh you let me down, my king
