• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
   C majorC          E minorEm        FF        G+G
Let’s set the scene, it’s Fall Play season, actors flood the hall
     C majorC       E minorEm       FF         G+G
Through audition drama, vocal running, our two names are called
   C majorC       E minorEm        FF        G+G
Upon meeting you I knew I’d win the part but lose my cool
    C majorC       E minorEm        FF        G+G
So they cast us as the lovebirds and my heart alas, the fool


Pre-Chorus 1:
    C majorC        FF
It’s a no chance, show-mance

I don’t mix work with pleasure
C majorC      FF
You sway my stance

It’s unprofessional
 A minorAm
I know that we can’t
    G+G
But I’m drawn to your trance

Chorus:
      FF
“Places in five”
      C majorC
Tickets to my demise
  G+G
I’m passionately panicking

Falling or I’m fangirling
FF        C majorC
Why? Why must we read these lines?
 G+G
Admiring you is amateur

Call me out of character

Verse 2:
   C majorC        E minorEm         FF         G+G
We’re backstage for a quick change and I catch you sneak a glimpse
      C majorC      E minorEm        FF      G+G
There’s no cameras, no cast around, our faces dimly lit
    C majorC         E minorEm         FF           G+G
I won’t make a move, I’ll claim I’m clueless when our friends make jokes
   C majorC         E minorEm         FF        G+G
But I swear you playing with my hair’s not what the author wrote

Pre-Chorus 2:
    C majorC        FF
It’s a no chance, show-mance
              A minorAm    G/BG/B    C majorC
But as our bodies breathe together in the final dance

Audience evanesces
C majorC
Reason be damned
      E MajorE
You’re not far from my man

Chorus:
      FF
“Back on in five”
      C majorC
Tickets to our demise
  G+G
I’m passionately panicking

Falling or I’m fangirling
FF       C majorC
Why? Why do I mean these lines?
 G+G
Admiring you is amateur

Call me out of character

Bridge:
     A minorAm     Am/Ab
A minorAm I the Eponine, or Lara Jean?
 C/GC/G      Em/GEm/G
I need a script for you and me
 A minorAm
I want the lead
  G+G        E minorEm
The harmony to your story

Chorus:
       FF
Re-write the plot
      C majorC
Give me the spotlight
 DmDm    C majorC          FF
A augmentedA monologue before the curtains fall
   G+G        C majorC
I was never acting at all
           C majorC
I was never acting at all
          G+G             C majorC
I can’t pretend to pretend you’re all that I want
              C majorC
Cause I was never acting at all
