β« Verse 1:
C Gsus2
I threw this Halloween party
Fmaj7 C
And I invited forty of my best friends
Gsus2
Cate and Tommy showed up
Fmaj7
I got them a drink, said, "How was your weekend "
C Gsus2
That's when I first heard your name
Fmaj7 C
And saying it tastes like violets, rum and summer
Gsus2 Fmaj7
Cate had had family stay from Canada
Am
"Maisie, did you meet my brother "
β« Pre-Chorus:
Fmaj7
And then I said, "No
I didn't"
Am
And then he started coming over
And my heart went
C Gsus2 Fmaj7
'Love him, he's the one and we shall wed'
N.C.
And then my head said
β« Chorus:
Fmaj7 C
Are you gonna work, you gonna hurt
Gsus2
You gonna last forever?
Fmaj7 C
Are we gonna make it, gonna break it
Gsus2
When it's now or never?
Fmaj7 C
If it's gonna hurt, will it be worth it?
Gsus2
And will I recover?
Fmaj7 C
Are you gonna feel the way I feel?
Gsus2 N.C.
Are you for real
Cate's brother?

He has these eyes so blue
Fmaj7 C
He's 6 foot 2 and a little younger than me
Gsus2
We go on cinema dates
Fmaj7
With Tommy and Cate, true love in 3D
C Gsus2
He's fun and weird and smart
Fmaj7
Likes cheap cigars and can shotgun a beer like no other
C Gsus2
Grabbed his hand in the dark
Fmaj7
And I pulled him to the car
Am
And the speakers play Nirvana
β« Pre-Chorus 2:
Fmaj7
And we pull up to the front door
Am
And now I'm opening the front door
C
When we started making out

We tripped and fell into my bed
N.C.
And then my head said
β« Chorus:
Fmaj7 C
Are you gonna work, you gonna hurt
Gsus2
You gonna last forever?
Fmaj7 C
Are we gonna make it, gonna break it

When it's now or never?

Are you gonna feel the way I feel?

Are you for real
Cate's brother?

C Gsus2 Fmaj7
Will we ever get together?

N.C.
And Cate's Brother said
Fmaj7 C
"I won't let you down, won't lead you on

And I said "How can I know you're for sure?
Gsus2
It's only been a summer"
Fmaj7 C
You said "Get a flight to Canada
Gsus2
And you can meet my mother"

That's how I became his only girl
