Tuning: Capo on 2

Chords (relative to capo)

g| 0 2 0 0 2 2

An asterisk means add third fret on the high e string with your little

finger. For example, C* would be X32013 rather than X32010. Basically it's

making the chord and AddG chord.

VERSE 1:

Am*

Close the door and take the stairs.

C* Em

Up or down? Upside down,

Em*

Well don't pretend you've never been there.

Am* C*

You kiss me like an overdramatic actor

Em*

who's starving for work,

Em*

with one last shot to make it happen.

Am*

You've won the role, you've played your part,

C*

you've been cordially invited.

Em Em*

But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited,

Am*

because the film runs a shallow budget,

and the writer's subject script isn't any

Em Em*

deeper. So dive right in...

PRE-CHORUS

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

hey you, who are you kidding?

I'm not like them.

I won't buy in.

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

hey you, who are you kidding?

Don't quit 'til 47,

then we'll turn it up, and we'll play a little faster.

CHORUS:

Take back everything you ever

said, you never meant a

word of it.

You never did.

Take back everything you ever

said, you never meant a

word of it.

You never did. She said

VERSE 2:

Am*

'Alright, Alright, slow down!"

C*

"Oh no, oh no, we won't"

Em*

'cause I regret every word that I said

C*

to ever make her feel like

Am*

she was something special,

Em Em*

or that she ever really mattered. Did she ever really matter?

PRE-CHORUS

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

hey you, who are you kidding?

I'm not like them.

I won't buy in.

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

just don't count on this summer.

Don't quit 'til 47.

Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster.

CHORUS:

Take back everything you ever

said, you never meant a

word of it.

You never did.

Take back everything you ever

said, you never meant a

word of it.

You never did.

BRIDGE:

I'm not saying that

I'm not breaking some

hearts tonight, girl.

I'm not saying that

I'm not breaking some

hearts tonight, girl.

Alright, alright, slow down...

CHORUS:

Take back everything you ever
