[Intro]

F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C


[Verse 1]

F F Dm Dm
Pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats
Bb Bb C C
Peter Pan collars but my daughter’s
growing up
F F Dm Dm
She’s gonna be a lot like me,
Bb Bb C C
but I don’t wanna be at all like me
F F Dm Dm
Yellow buzz-cuts, pulling out stingers,
Bb Bb
you’re telling me I’m holding up
C C
eleven fingers and
F F Dm Dm
stranger things than death can happen
Bb Bb C C
to lab rat girls and pretty white
rabbits


[Pre-chorus]

Bb Bb C C
But everybody knows that. Nobody knows
that
F F Am Am Dm Dm
everybody’s in on everybody’s business
Bb Bb C C
This isn’t my first Christmas, I know
mistletoe when I see it


[Chorus]

F F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with
me
C C
could you tell me how I’m right for
you?
F F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with
me
C C
could you tell me how could you tell me
F F
how and if I’m still pretty?

F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C x2


[Verse 2]

F F Dm Dm
Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide
dimples
Bb Bb
If they could see the future back when
C C
times were simple
F F Dm Dm
would they kiss your cheek or yank the
bandage off?
Bb Bb C C
Let you speak or take advantage of how
F F Dm Dm
If everyone’s sick, well then nobody
can catch it,
Bb Bb
and if everybody’s different how could
C C
anybody match?
F F
And we’re looking through the pockets
Dm Dm
of the hand-me-downs we’ve laid out
Bb Bb
Wondering if we’ll fit into the
C C
yesterdays we’ve played out


[Pre-chorus]

Bb Bb C C
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that
F F Am Am
everybody’s all up in my goddamn
Dm Dm
business
Bb Bb C C
This isn’t my first kiss, it’s better
to be lost than loved, now, isn’t it?


[Chorus]

F F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with
me
C C
could you tell me how I’m right for
you?
F F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with
me
C C
could you tell me how could you tell me
F F
how and if I’m still pretty?

F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C x2


[Bridge]

F F Dm Dm
Walking bikes home with a scraped-knee
Bb Bb C C
sunset smudged across your brow
F F Dm Dm
Warmer tears than you’ve grown used to
Bb Bb C C
since then
F F A7 A7
A A toast to the nosebleed seats and the
Dm Dm Bb Bb
big dream sequence where you’re found
Bb Bb C C
Guilty of your innocence and gently
sent right back to bed
Bb Bb C C
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that
F F Am Am
everybody’s all up in my motherfucking
Dm Dm
business
Bb Bb C C
This isn’t my first anything. This
isn’t my first anything
Bb Bb A7 A7
Everybody knows that. Nobody knows that
Dm Dm G7 G7
everybody’s in on everybody’s business
Bb Bb C C
This isn’t my first lyric, I know
exactly how I should finish it


[Chorus]

F F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb Bb
And when we find out what’s wrong with
me
C C
could you tell me how I’m right for
you?
F F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm Dm
Baby, would that be alright with you?
Bb Bb
After all that's been done to me
C C
could you tell me how could you tell me
how could you tell me
F F
What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with
me?
Dm Dm
I’m just trying to do what’s right by
you
Bb Bb
What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with
me?
C C
I’m just trying to do what’s right by
you


[Outro]

F F
Baby, could you play along with me?
Dm Dm
Baby, would that be alright with
you?
Bb Bb
After all that's been done to me
C C
could you tell me how could you tell me
how, could you tell me how?
