Strum pattern is D–D-DU-UD-D-U-

Gm7 F Eb
I save my metaphors for rainy days
Eb F Gm7
When I’m too phased
Gm7 F
But that’s not here or there,
Eb Eb F Gm7
so I’ll give you the phrase that pays
Gm7 F Eb
‘Cause we’re not seventeen,
Eb F Gm7
but you’re my teenage dream
Gm7 F
If there’s a chance we’ll sink,
Eb Eb F Gm7 Gm7 F
then I don’t even want to try to sleep
Eb Eb F
Or dream
Gm7 Gm7 F
To sleep
Eb Eb F(hold)
Or dream
Gm7 Eb
I just hope it’s nicer where you are
Bb
‘Cause I only want to lift you up
Fsus2
Guess I never really said enough
Gm7
For you to hear me where you are
Bb
‘Cause I only want to lift you up
Fsus2 Eb
Guess I never really said enough, so let me tell you now
Bb5 Fsus2 Eb
My tired thoughts don’t take vacations, oh no
Bb Fsus2 Eb
You float up in conversations, oh no
Bb Fsus2 Eb
You’re my final destination, I know
Fsus2 Fsus2/Ebmaj7
You’re probably fine there
Just know I think you’re rare
Gm7 F Eb
Let’s make some plans for time to waste
Eb F Gm7
Your Cali gaze
Gm7 F
has stuck me spinning, dripping
Eb Eb F Gm7
sweetness hidden in my face
Gm7 F Eb
‘Cause we’re not seventeen,
Eb F Gm7
but you’re my teenage dream
Gm7 F
If there’s a chance we’ll sink,
Eb Eb F Gm7 Gm7 F
then I don’t even want to try to sleep
Eb Eb F
Or dream
Gm7 Gm7 F
To sleep
Eb Eb F(hold)
Or dream
Gm7 Eb
I just hope it’s nicer where you are
Bb
‘Cause I only want to lift you up
Fsus2
Guess I never really said enough
Gm7
For you to hear me where you are
Bb
‘Cause I only want to lift you up
Fsus2 Eb
Guess I never really said enough, so let me tell you now
Bb5 Fsus2 Eb
My tired thoughts don’t take vacations, oh no
Bb Fsus2 Eb
You float up in conversations, oh no
Bb Fsus2 Eb
You’re my final destination, I know
Fsus2 Fsus2/Ebmaj7
You’re probably fine there
Just know I think you’re rare
Bb11 Bb Bb11
You know I think you’re
Bb11 Bb Bb11 Gm
rare I wasn’t prepared
Gm9 Gm
I’ve got to say
Eb Eb(hold)
I think it’s weird I need your love,
Bb11
I’ve clocked 300 ways
Bb Bb11
You know I think you’re
Bb11 Bb Bb11 Gm
rare Wasn’t prepared
Gm9 Gm Eb Eb/F
And now my stomach’s cold
Eb
And I hope it’s nicer where you are
Bb
‘Cause I only want to lift you up
Fsus2
Guess I never really said enough
Gm7
For you to hear me where you are
Bb
‘Cause I only want to lift you up
Fsus2 Eb
Guess I never really said enough, so let me tell you now
Bb5 Fsus2 Eb
My tired thoughts don’t take vacations, oh no
Bbmaj7 Fsus2 Eb
You float up in conversations, oh no
Bb Fsus2 Eb
You’re my final destination, I know
Fsus2 Fsus2/Ebmaj7
You’re probably fine there
Gm Gm
Just know I think you’re rare
