Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Clo[Am]se the door and take the stairs
[C]Up or down, ups and [Em]downs
Well, don't pretend you've
never been [G]there
You [Am]kiss me like an over-dramatic actor
[C]actor
Who's starving [Em]for work
With one last shot to make it happen
You've [Am]won the role,
you've played your part
You've been [C]cordially invited
But I'm [Em]not impressed,
and I'm definitely not excited
'Cause the [Am]film runs a
shallow budget
And the [C]writer's subject
script isn't any [Em]deeper
So dive right [G]in

[Verse 2]
[Am]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[C]Hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm [G]not like them, I [D]won't buy in
[Am]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[C]Hey you, who are you kidding?
Don't [G]quit 'til [D]47
Then we'll turn it up,

[Verse 3]
and we'll play a little faster
[Am]Take back everything you ever [C]said
You never meant [G]a word of it
You [D]never did
[Am]Take back everything you [C]said
You never meant [G]a word of it
[D]You never did

[Verse 4]
She [Am]said
"Alright alright, slow down"
[C]Oh no, oh no, we won't
[Em]'Cause I regret everything
that I [Am]said
To ever make her feel [C]like she
was something special
Or that she [Em]ever really mattered

[Verse 5]
Or did she ever really matter?
[Am]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
[C]Hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm [G]not like them, I [D]won't buy in
[Am]Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Just [C]don't count on this summer
Don't [G]quit 'til [D]47
Then we'll turn it up,

[Verse 6]
and we'll play a little faster
[Am]Take back everything you ever [C]said
You never meant [G]a word of it
You [D]never did
[Am]Take back everything you [C]said
You never meant [G]a word of it
You [D]never did

[Verse 7]
[C]I'm not saying that [Em]I'm not breaking
Some [G]hearts tonight, girl oh oh
[C]I'm not saying that [Em]I'm
not breaking
[G]Some hearts tonight, girl
[F]Alright, alright,

I'm [G]not like them, I [D]won't buy in
