C Em F G Let’s set the scene, it’s Fall Play season, actors flood the hall C Em F G Through audition drama, vocal running, our two names are called C Em F G Upon meeting you I knew I’d win the part but lose my cool C Em F G So they cast us as the lovebirds and my heart alas, the foolVerse 1:
C F It’s a no chance, show-mance I don’t mix work with pleasure C F You sway my stance It’s unprofessional Am I know that we can’t G But I’m drawn to your trancePre-Chorus
F “Places in five” C Tickets to my demise G I’m passionately panicking Falling or I’m fangirling F C Why? Why must we read these lines? G Admiring you is amateur Call me out of characterC Em F G We’re backstage for a quick change and I catch you sneak a glimpse C Em F G There’s no cameras, no cast around, our faces dimly lit C Em F G I won’t make a move, I’ll claim I’m clueless when our friends make jokes C Em F G But I swear you playing with my hair’s not what the author wroteVerse 2:
C F It’s a no chance, show-mance Am G/B C But as our bodies breathe together in the final dance Audience evanesces C Reason be damned E You’re not far from my manPre-Chorus
F “Back on in five” C Tickets to our demise G I’m passionately panicking Falling or I’m fangirling F C Why? Why do I mean these lines? G Admiring you is amateur Call me out of characterAm Am/Ab Am I the Eponine, or Lara Jean? C/G Em/G I need a script for you and me Am I want the lead G Em The harmony to your storyBridge:
F Re-write the plot C Give me the spotlight Dm C F A monologue before the curtains fall G C I was never acting at all C I was never acting at all G C I can’t pretend to pretend you’re all that I want C Cause I was never acting at all
