Close the door and take the stairs.

C*                 Em

who's starving for work,

              Em*
with one last shot to make it happen.

you've been cordially invited.

But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited,

            Am*
because the film runs a shallow budget,

        C
and the writer's subject script isn't any

Em         Em*
deeper. So dive right in...
