The Awkward Ones chords by Martha

Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
E A C#m B (x4)


Verse 1:
E                                                A
It must have been October, the last time that we spoke
N.C.
And though I think about you,
                    E
I decided that it's safer where we left it,
N.C.
Safer for us both
A

That stuff was a million years ago


Pre-Chorus:
C#m            B              E
When you got accepted, I went loopy
       A              C#m
Hoping you'd be on my team
             B               A
When you got accepted, I was totally ridiculous


Chorus:
E           B                    F#                A
We were the ones who always felt awkward, socially cornered
                     E
And I still feel the same
                   B                            F#
Still dreading the laughter, like, what does it matter?
                  A
It's not what I'm after, anyway


Instrumental:
E A C#m B (x2)


Verse 2:
E
I won't take a compliment,
           A
but I will ruminate for hours on a single mean remark
E
Collecting them like ornaments,
          A
the nasty things that people say,
                                           C#m
that I save up to think about when it gets dark


Pre-Chorus:
C#m            B              E
When you got accepted, I went loopy
       A              C#m
Hoping you'd be on my team
             B               A
When you got accepted, I was totally ridiculous


Chorus:
E           B                    F#                A
We were the ones who always felt awkward, socially cornered
                     E
And I still feel the same
                   B                            F#
Still dreading the laughter, like, what does it matter?
                  A
It's not what I'm after, anyway


Guitar Solo:
E B F# A (x2)


Pre-Chorus:
C#m          B                E
When you got accepted, I went loopy
       A               C#m
Hoping you'd be on my team
              B              A     F
When you got accepted, I was right


Instrumental:
E A C#m B (x2)


Outro:
  E           A              C#m        B     E   A C#m B
I can't help feeling like I did that October day
E         A             C#m            B
Ten years later, I'm so glad that it's over
      E          A              C#m       B
But I can't help feeling like I did that October...
E         A             C#m            B
Ten years later, I'm so glad that it's over
      E          A              C#m        B      E
