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
