Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God

How about a baseball bat?

There's one in my pants
[PETER]
E5 D5 A5/C# B5
No thank you, my mom, she said to never talk to strangers

[PETER]
E
There's something that I want to ask you
D
Now don't say 'no', just hear me out
F#m
After school, they hold auditions
G
Something just to...think about, and...
[JASON]
E
God, you said the same thing last year
D
You know acting's not my thing
F#m
Plus, I might go out for baseball
G
And I neither dance nor sing
[PETER]
Bm
You have never mentioned baseball
A
You haven't played since we were twelve
G
And as for "acting's not my thing"
E5
It's obvious it's something else
[JASON]
E5
I don't act
[PETER]
F5 C5 G5
I think we're the best act this school has ever seen
[JASON]
E5 F5
So take a bow, and I'll...
[PETER]
C5 D5
You know what I mean!
E5 F5 D5 G5
It was just a thought, forget I brought it up
[JASON]
E5 F5
Well, think about it tonight
E5 F5
When everything is right
E5 F5
And we'll shut off the lights

And cuddle in bed and see how far we get
[Interlude]
