[Verse 1]
C Em F G
Let’s set the scene, it’s Fall Play season, actors flood the hall
C Em F G
Through audition drama, vocal running, our two names are called
C Em F G
Upon meeting you I knew I’d win the part but lose my cool
C Em F G
So they cast us as the lovebirds and my heart alas, the fool
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C F
It’s a no chance, show-mance
I don’t mix work with pleasure
C F
You sway my stance
It’s unprofessional
Am
I know that we can’t
G
But I’m drawn to your trance
[Chorus]
F
“Places in five”
C
Tickets to my demise
G
I’m passionately panicking
Falling or I’m fangirling
F C
Why? Why must we read these lines?
G
Admiring you is amateur
Call me out of character
[Verse 2]
C Em F G
We’re backstage for a quick change and I catch you sneak a glimpse
C Em F G
There’s no cameras, no cast around, our faces dimly lit
C Em F G
I won’t make a move, I’ll claim I’m clueless when our friends make jokes
C Em F G
But I swear you playing with my hair’s not what the author wrote
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C F
It’s a no chance, show-mance
Am G/B C
But as our bodies breathe together in the final dance
Audience evanesces
C
Reason be damned
E
You’re not far from my man
[Chorus]
F
“Back on in five”
C
Tickets to our demise
G
I’m passionately panicking
Falling or I’m fangirling

Why? Why do I mean these lines?
G
Admiring you is amateur
Call me out of character
[Bridge]

Am I the Eponine, or Lara Jean?

I need a script for you and me

I want the lead

The harmony to your story
[Chorus]

Re-write the plot

Give me the spotlight
Dm C F
A monologue before the curtains fall

I was never acting at all

I was never acting at all

I can’t pretend to pretend you’re all that I want
C
Cause I was never acting at all
