[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                               
you’re telling me I’m  holding up 
C
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                                     
could you tell me how could you tell me
                      F
how and if I’m still pretty?

F Dm Bb C x2


[Verse 2]

F                        Dm
Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide 
dimples
Bb                                    
If they could see the future back when 
C
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                              
and if everybody’s different how could 
C
anybody match?
         F                           
And we’re looking through the pockets 
        Dm
of the hand-me-downs we’ve laid out
Bb                             
Wondering if we’ll fit into the 
 C
yesterdays we’ve played out


[Pre-chorus]

Bb                    C
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that
F                       Am      
everybody’s all up in my goddamn 
Dm
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                                     
could you tell me how could you tell me
                      F
how and if I’m still pretty?

F Dm Bb C x2


[Bridge]

F                          Dm         
Walking bikes home with a scraped-knee 
        Bb                 C
sunset smudged across your brow
F                 Dm                 
Warmer tears than you’ve grown used to
Bb           C
since then
  F                      A7           
A toast to the nosebleed seats and the 
          Dm                    Bb
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          
everybody’s all up in my motherfucking
Dm
business
Bb                            C
This isn’t my first anything. This 
isn’t my first anything
Bb                    A7              
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that
 Dm                G7
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                                  
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 how?

F
