3rd traste
[Verse]
E
And it starts tonight because
A
Tonight's the night, but not just any night
E
It is movie night!
A
I would've made you dinner… but my toaster broke
E
So you put on a little sci-fi film
A
About the dangers of blah, blah, blah, whatever
E
I am barely watching, time is standing still
A
I'm about to change my life forever
E
I ask you if we can chat a minute,
A
And you say "Sure when the movie's finished"
E
So I fast-forward to the end and say
A
I think that we should be more than friends
E
You say: Look… you're great
A
(Uh-oh, that's not a good start)
E
You say you're not ready for that and
A
Don't wanna mess up what we have
E
But... I have an idea, you say
E
And you reach into your bag of things
E
That 20-year-olds think are good ideas
E A
And you pull out this massive classic gem
[Bridge]
A B E A
If we're both still single at 30, will you marry me?
A B
It's a pinky promise shifted one to the right,
E A
It's too soon for I do's, will you take an I might?
A B
If we're both still single at 30…
[Chorus]
E
And I am not your first choice
A E
But I'm a solid 30 plan
B
Hot damn safety net that I am
E A
You gotta back up, love, so you know where I stand
B A E
I'll take a maybe, a shot, or a chance
B A E
I'll take a maybe, a shot, or a chance
[Verse]
E
So we cut to the scene
A
Where I build a machine, but not just any machine
E
It is a time machine!
A
I made it from my toaster, like that movie…
N.C.
Hot toast time machine
E
I load a bagel in the "future" slot
A
Set to ten and smack down on the lever
E
A decade passes in a single thought
A
I'm about to change my life forever
E A
I find you and you're still single, I am obviously single
E
It’s like a tale from a storybook
A
Until you say: "How does forty look"?
E A
But wait… I'm pretty sure you said (and I quote):
[Bridge]
B E A
If we're both still single at 30, will you marry me?
A B
It's a time capsule, no it's a proposal
E A
A little bit of neither, and a little bit of both so
A B E
Now we're both still single at 30, but apparently
A
What you really meant to say was
A B
Ah come on! let's pick an arbitrary number!
E A
Kick the can down the road before we tie it to the bumper
A B
You never thought we'd be single at 30...
[Chorus]
E
And I am still not your first choice
A E
But I'm a solid 40 plan
B
Hot damn safety net that I am
E A
You gotta backup-love (so you know where I stand)
B A E
I'll take a maybe, a shot, or a chance
B A E
I'll take a maybe, a shot, or a chance
[Outro]
E
There are no bagels in the future, I
A
Have got one left but two slots on my toaster
E
One'll take me forward, one'll take me back,
A
One's another chance and one is closure
E
I load my bagel, I've made up my mind
A
Set to ten and smack down on the lever
E
A decade passes as I go through time
A E
I'm about to change my life forever
