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...
