[Intro]
F Dm Bb C
[Verse 1]
F Dm Pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats Bb C Peter Pan collars but my daughter’s growing up F Dm She’s gonna be a lot like me, Bb C but I don’t wanna be at all like me F Dm Yellow buzz-cuts, pulling out stingers, Bb C you’re telling me I’m holding up eleven fingers and F Dm stranger things than death can happen Bb C to lab rat girls and pretty white rabbits
[Pre-chorus]
Bb C But everybody knows that. Nobody knows that F Am Dm everybody’s in on everybody’s business Bb C This isn’t my first Christmas, I know mistletoe when I see it
[Chorus]
F Baby, could you play along with me? Dm Baby, would that be alright with you? Bb And when we find out what’s wrong with me C could you tell me how I’m right for you? F Baby, could you play along with me? Dm Baby, would that be alright with you? Bb And when we find out what’s wrong with me C F could you tell me how could you tell me how and if I’m still pretty?
F Dm Bb C x2
[Verse 2]
F Dm Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide dimples Bb C If they could see the future back when times were simple F Dm would they kiss your cheek or yank the bandage off? Bb C Let you speak or take advantage of how F Dm If everyone’s sick, well then nobody can catch it, Bb C and if everybody’s different how could anybody match? F Dm And we’re looking through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we’ve laid out Bb C Wondering if we’ll fit into the yesterdays we’ve played out
[Pre-chorus]
Bb C Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that F Am Dm everybody’s all up in my goddamn business Bb C This isn’t my first kiss, it’s better to be lost than loved, now, isn’t it?
[Chorus]
F Baby, could you play along with me? Dm Baby, would that be alright with you? Bb And when we find out what’s wrong with me C could you tell me how I’m right for you? F Baby, could you play along with me? Dm Baby, would that be alright with you? Bb And when we find out what’s wrong with me C F could you tell me how could you tell me how and if I’m still pretty?
F Dm Bb C x2
[Bridge]
F Dm Bb C Walking bikes home with a scraped-knee sunset smudged across your brow F Dm Bb C Warmer tears than you’ve grown used to since then F A7 Dm Bb A toast to the nosebleed seats and the big dream sequence where you’re found Bb C Guilty of your innocence and gently sent right back to bed Bb C Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that F Am Dm everybody’s all up in my motherfucking business Bb C This isn’t my first anything. This isn’t my first anything Bb A7 Dm G7 Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that everybody’s in on everybody’s business Bb C This isn’t my first lyric, I know exactly how I should finish it
[Chorus]
F Baby, could you play along with me? Dm Baby, would that be alright with you? Bb And when we find out what’s wrong with me C could you tell me how I’m right for you? F Baby, could you play along with me? Dm Baby, would that be alright with you? Bb After all that's been done to me C could you tell me how could you tell me how could you tell me F What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me? Dm I’m just trying to do what’s right by you Bb What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me? C I’m just trying to do what’s right by you
[Outro]
F Dm Baby, could you play along with me? Baby, would that be alright with you? Bb After all that's been done to me C could you tell me how could you tell me how, could you tell me how?
