Verse:
Am F
Before you date a reader,
E
you've been warned,
Dm Am F E
You're up against a guy who died in Chapter 4.
Dm Am E
You said "I read a bit," I saw two books,
Dm F E
didn't see the TBR behind the door.
(E) Am F
If you date a reader, read the fine print,
Dm
You're the side character,
E
her book boyfriends are the main event.
Am
Bite her lip,
F
you might get lucky tonight,
Dm
Tears on a page,
E
say goodbye to your plans on sight.
Am
If you date a reader,
C F Dm
sign the consent, to random sobbing over
E
characters that never even existed.
Chorus:
Am C F
Yeah
If you date a reader,
Am
you've been warned: that’s it.
F
(you've been warned,
E Dm
you've been warned, that’s it.
Am
Woah)
F
(you've been warned,
E
you've been warned, that’s it.)
Verse:
(E) Am
Before you date a reader,
F
you should probably call your bank,
Dm
make up, heels, a little dinner,
E
yeah, you've got that in the tank,
Am
but then she sees the luxe edition
F
then your budget starts to shake.
Dm
One-signed copy queue, three-sprayed edges
C Am
– big mistake.
(Am) Am
So if you wanna love a reader,
F
get in line behind the cast.
Dm
Billionaires and fated mates,
E
and princes with tragic pasts.
Am
You’re competing with an army
F
on an overcrowded shelf.
Dm E
If you date a reader, sign the consent
F G
for just one chapter till 3 a.m. – It's, yeah,
Chorus:
G Dm
If you date a reader,
Dm E Am
you've been warned: that’s it.
F
(you've been warned,
E Dm
you've been warned, that’s it. Woah)
Am F
(you've been warned,
Dm
you've been warned, that’s it. Woah)
Verse:
F Dm
You'll learn their type,
Am
enemies to lovers.
Am F
You'll learn their vibe,
Dm
Three-hundred-year-old faes
Am Am
and fated mates.
F F
You'll learn book hangover
Em Em
means canceling plans again.
(Em) Am F
If you date a reader, read the fine print.
Dm Em
You'll learn real quick where you stand
Am
somewhere between a book (hey – hey – hey)
F Em F E
and her fictional meeeeeeeeen.
A C F
If you date a reader, sign the consent
D E
to being loved in footnotes and plot twists
Chorus:
A C
Yeah, I date a reader,
A A
and I won’t quit.
F F
I’ve been warned,
Em D
I’ve been warned, that’s it. Woah
A F F
I’ve been warned,
Em D
I’ve been warned, that’s it.
A A
Woah
