Verse 1:
Emaj9
I put on a play in my old house
Emaj9
In my cape, jumping on the old couch
Amaj7
Putting up lights when it's cold out
Amaj7
Mom and dad, both seats sold out
          | Emaj9 | % | Amaj7 | % |
Show you my play
Emaj9
Haven't seen the old house lately
Emaj9
Wonder if they found my spaceship
Amaj7
I don't want my own love wasted
Amaj7
Tell me this is what you're saying:

Pre-Chorus:
      F#m7          G#m7
If you both outgrew one another
       A                   G#m7
I could start now, looking for a lover
      F#m7             G#m7
But if love dies, do I fucking bother?

Chorus:
A                                                    Emaj9
I just really really really really wanna show you my play
                                            Amaj7
And I don't wanna do it for Dad at Dad's new place
                                        A/G#                    F#m
I worked really, really, really, really hard, lemme show you my play
      Ammaj7                                    | Emaj9 | % |
And I don't wanna do it twice, 'cause it's not the same

Verse 2:
Emaj9
I've been on dates, bringing flowers
Emaj9
Tryna' be great for an hour
Amaj7
You and me might go sour
          Amaj7
But if we don't hold out, then we're cowards
Emaj9
I put on a play in my basement (basement)
Emaj9
Mom and Dad smiling faces (faces)
    Amaj7
But now I don't know if they faked it (faked it)
      Amaj7
Guess everything is complicated

Pre-Chorus:
      F#m7          G#m7
If you both outgrew one another
       A                   G#m7
I could start now, looking for a lover
      F#m7             G#m7
But if love dies, do I fucking bother?

Chorus:
A                                                    Emaj9
I just really really really really wanna show you my play
                                            Amaj7
And I don't wanna do it for Dad at Dad's new place
                                        A/G#                    F#m
I worked really, really, really, really hard, lemme show you my play
      Ammaj7                                      E     Am
And I don't wanna do it twice, 'cause it's not the same

Post-Chorus:
E        Am                                         E
 You did everything, everything, everything that you could
      Am                                          E
We do everything, everything, everything 'til it's through
        C#m                     B                  A
I'll do everything, everything, everything when I'm you

Outro:
                       Emaj9
But when I show you my play
                                                A
Will you pretend you didn't know if I make a mistake?
                                              A/G#             F#m
It's gonna get really, really, really, really bad before it's okay
    Ammaj7                                              E
But maybe you'll forget it all while you're watching my play
