(Verse 1) 

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

(Pre-Chorus) 

Bm 
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, 
D 
hey you, who are you kidding? 
A 
I'm not like them. 
E 
I won't buy in. 
Bm 
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, 
D 
hey you, who are you kidding? 
A 
Don't quit 'til 47, 
E 
then we'll turn it up, and we'll play a little faster. 

(Chorus) 

Bm 
Take back everything you ever  
D 
said, you never meant a 
A 
word of it. 
E 
You never did. 
Bm 
Take back everything you ever  
D 
said, you never meant a 
A 
word of it. 
E 
You never did. She said  

(Verse 2) 

Bm p.m. 
'Alright, Alright, slow down!" 
D 
Oh no, oh no, we won't, 
C#m* 
'cause I regret every word that I said 
C#m 
to ever make her feel like 
A 
she was something special, 
C#m* 
or that she ever really mattered. Did she ever really matter? 

(Pre-Chorus) 

Bm 
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, 
D 
hey you, who are you kidding? 
A 
I'm not like them. 
E 
I won't buy in. 
Bm 
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, 
D 
just don't count on this summer. 
A 
Don't quit 'til 47. 
E 
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster. 

(Chorus) 

Bm 
Take back everything you ever  
D 
said, you never meant a 
A 
word of it. 
E 
You never did. 
Bm 
Take back everything you ever  
D 
said, you never meant a 
A 
word of it. 
E 
You never did. 

(Bridge) 

C#m 
I'm not saying that 
A 
I'm not breaking some 
A 
hearts tonight, girl. 
C#m 
I'm not saying that 
A 
I'm not breaking some 
A 
hearts tonight, girl. 
G				Bm  D  A  E  Bm  D  A  E 
Alright, alright, slow down... 

(Chorus) 

Bm 
Take back everything you ever  
D 
said, you never meant a 
A 
word of it. 
E 
You never did. 
Bm 
Take back everything you ever  
D 
said, you never meant a

You never did. 

(Outro) 3x 

Bm 
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills, 
D 
hey you, who are you kidding? 
A 
I'm not like them. 
E 
I won't buy in.
