It's a waltz! All chords are played like so: the root once on the first beat, and the upper notes on the next
two beats. The last measure is played expressively and free of tempo.

I'm not a fan
Dm/F Gm
But I understand if there is something

That moves you
A7/G Fmaj7/A
That's not my cup of tea

It's part of what makes you beautiful to me

I'm not a fan
Dm
Like you and your friends
Gm
You're so well read
C/G
I grew up on sugar cereal and TV
A7/C# F/C
I'm starting to wonder what you see in me
G7/B C F
No, I'm not a fan but maybe I could learn to be
BRIDGE:
Bbm F
Oh, there's always something from the start
Bbm F
You try to tell yourself it's only small but it's not
F9/Eb
And it's the very thing that later on will tear it all apart
F Bb/F Bbm/F
I'm not a fan
Dm Gm
And I wonder if you really are
C/G
Or does it make you feel smart
Gm C/G
A boy band with glasses just minus the heart
Gm C
He's shaking his ass and you call it art
A7/C# Dm
I'll wait in the lobby, go meet him for real
A7/E Dm
We could all go to dinner and I'll be third wheel
G
So go get your t-shirt signed
C
Fangirl
