Verse 1:
Bm7
Close the door and take the stairs.
Dmaj7               F#m7
Up or down? Ups and downs.
F#m7
Don't pretend you've never been there.
    Bm7                            Dmaj7                                                 
                          F#m7                 You kiss me like an overdramatic actor 
starving for work,
F#m7
with one last shot to make it happen.
Bm7
You've won the role, you've played your part,
            Dmaj7
you've been cordially invited.
	    F#m7
But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited.
           Bm7
'Cause the film runs a shallow budget,
        Dmaj7                                F#m7
and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper.
F#m7 			(Quick) A
So dive right in...

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

Bm
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

'Alright, Alright, slow down!"
Dmaj7
Oh no, oh no, we won't.
F#m7			               Bm7
'Cause I regret every thing that I said to ever make her feel
        Dmaj7			        F#m7
like she was something special, or that she ever really mattered.
               F#m7                                                 (Quick) A
