Listen to the song for the strumming pattern...It's not hard, but I was just too lazy 

to tab it out.

(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
A
word of it.
E
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.
