[Chorus]
Strum pattern is D--D-DU-UD-D-U-
Switching between Bb, Bb5, and Bbmaj7 appears arbitrary

During "so let me tell you now," I like to play this (but Awsten just plays Fsus2):
Eb|--0----0---0-0---0-0--0--0--|
Bb|--0----0---0-0---0-0--0--0--|
Gb|--4----4---4-4---4-3--4--3--|
Db|--4----4---4-4---4-4--4--4--|
Ab|--2----2---2-2---2-2--2--2--|
Eb|----------------------------|
The part right before "Just know I think you're rare" is played like this:
Fsus2 Ebmaj7
Eb|-----------------------|
Bb|-----------------------|
Gb|--3---3---3/5-x--------|
Db|--4---4---4/6-x--------|
Ab|--4---4---4-x-x--------|
Eb|--2---2---2/4-x--------|

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 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

[Verse 1]
I save my metaphors for rainy days
When I'm too phased, but that's not here or there so I'll give you the phrase that pays
'Cause we're not seventeen, but you're my teenage dream
If there's a chance we'll sink then I don't even wanna try
To sleep or dream
To sleep or dream
[Chorus]
I just hope it's nicer where you are
'Cause I only want to lift you up
I guess I never really said enough
For you to hear me where you are
'Cause I only want to lift you up
I guess I never really said enough
So let me tell you now
My tired thoughts don't take vacations, oh no
You float up in conversations, oh no
You're my final destination, I know
You're probably fine there
Just know I think you're rare
(Just know I think you're rare
Just know I think you're-)
[Verse 2]
Let's make some plans for time to waste
Your Cali gaze has stuck me spinning, dripping sweetness hidden in my face
'Cause we're not seventeen, but you're my teenage dream
If there's a chance we'll sink then I don't even wanna try
To sleep or dream
To sleep or dream
[Chorus]
I just hope it's nicer where you are
'Cause I only want to lift you up
I guess I never really said enough
For you to hear me where you are
'Cause I only want to lift you up
I guess I never really said enough
So let me tell you now
My tired thoughts don't take vacations, oh no
You float up in conversations, oh no
You're my final destination, I know
You're probably fine there
Just know I think you're rare
[Bridge]
You know I think you're rare
I wasn't prepared
I’ve got to say
I think it's weird I need your love
I’ve clocked 300 ways
You know I think you're rare
I wasn't prepared
And now my stomach's cold
[Chorus]
And I hope it's nicer where you are
'Cause I only want to lift you up
I guess I never really said enough
For you to hear me where you are
'Cause I only want to lift you up
I guess I never really said enough
So let me tell you now
My tired thoughts don't take vacations, oh no
You float up in conversations, oh no
You're my final destination, I know
You're probably fine there
Just know I think you're rare
(Just know I think you're rare)
