An asterisk means add third fret on the high e string with your little
finger. For example, C* would be X32013 rather than X32010. Basically it's
making the chord and AddG chord.
VERSE 1:
Am*
Close the door and take the stairs.
C* Em
Up or down? Upside down,
Em*
Well don't pretend you've never been there.
Am* C*
You kiss me like an overdramatic actor
Em*
who's starving for work,
Em*
with one last shot to make it happen.
Am*
You've won the role, you've played your part,
C*
you've been cordially invited.
Em Em*
But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited,
Am*
because the film runs a shallow budget,
C
and the writer's subject script isn't any
Em Em*
deeper. So dive right in...

VERSE 2:
Am*
'Alright, Alright, slow down!"
C*
"Oh no, oh no, we won't"
Em*
'cause I regret every word that I said
C*
to ever make her feel like
Am*
she was something special,

or that she ever really mattered. Did she ever really matter?
