Intro F7M  F7  Bb  Gm  Gm7(5-) 
 
Verse 1:
 
F 
I put on a play in my old house 
                                     F7 
In my cape, jumping on the old couch 
Bb 
Putting up lights when it's cold out 
Gm                      Gm7(5-) 
Mom and dad, both seats sold out 
                 F  
Show you my play 
 
 
 
F 
Haven't seen the old house lately 
                                  F7 
Wonder if they found my spaceship 
Bb 
I don't want my own love wasted 
Gm                          Gm7(5-) 
Tell me this is what you're saying
 
Pre-Chorus
 
      Bb            C 
If you both outgrew one another 
      Gm                   Am 
I could start now, looking for a lover 
      Bb               C 
But if love dies, do I fucking bother 
 
 
 
Gm                          Gm7(5-) 
I just really really really really wanna 
            F7M 
Show you my play 
      F 
And I don't wanna do it for Dad 
   F7        Bb 
At Dad's new place 
                                     Bbm 
I worked really really really really hard 
                  Gm7 
Lemme show you my play 
      Bbm               Gm7(5-) 
And I don't wanna do it twice 
                   F 
Cause it's not the same 
 
Verse 2:
 
F 
I've been on dates, bringing flowers 
                            F7 
Tryna' be great for an hour 
Bb 
You and me might go sour 
          Gm                         Gm7(5-) 
But if we don't hold out, then we're cowards 
F 
I put on a play in my basement 
                         F7 
Mom and dad smiling faces 
    Bb 
But now I don't know if they faked it 
      Gm                  Gm7(5-) 
Guess everything is complicated 
 
 
Pre-Chorus
      Bb            C 
If you both outgrew one another 
      Gm                   Am 
I could start now, looking for a lover 
      Bb               C 
But if love dies, do I fucking bother 
 
 
 
Gm                          Gm7(5-) 
I just really really really really wanna 
            F7M 
Show you my play 
      F 
And I don't wanna do it for Dad 
   F7        Bb 
At Dad's new place 
                                     Bbm 
I worked really really really really hard 
                  Gm7 
Lemme show you my play 
      Bbm               Gm7(5-) 
And I don't wanna do it twice 
                   F9 Bb9  F9 
Cause it's not the same 
 
Bridge:
 
        Bbm                    
You did everything, everything 
Am7        Bb       F 
Everything that you could 
      Gm7(5-)                  
We do everything, everything 
  Bbm                  F7M 
Everything till it's through 
        Dm                     
I'll do everything, everything 
Gm         Gm7(5-)    F7M 
Everything when I'm you 
 
( Gm7  Bbm ) 
 
 
 
           F9         F 
But when I show you my play 
                            F7 
Will you pretend you didn't know 
              Bb 
If I make a mistake 
               Dm7                         Gm7(5-) 
It's gonna get really really really really bad 
             Gm7 
Before it's okay 
    Bb9                 Bbm9 
But maybe you'll forget it all 
                         F2 
While you're watching my play
