Rex Orange County - A Song About Being Sad
Simple Song, make up own strum pattern but in the song it's slow paced and singular on the strings
[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
F
Always felt like I needed to please her, or impress her
Bb A F
Though only in the hope that one day I would undress her
Don't be offended
Bb
You think I'm 'bout to tell you that "I love you"
But I really really really fucking don't
F
See the months of obsession
C Dm
And crying for hours
C F Bb
I even started sitting down in the shower, girl
C
I'll take my time on my own
F
And I'll be fine now I'm alone
[Verse 2]
F
Constantly told stories with a stretch of the truth
Bb F
Trying hard to make memories to remember from youth
Desperately wanting you to be interested too
Bb
It's not clear what I need yet
A
But it's clear it's not you
F C Dm
Here's what I'd say to any young man that's still interested in you
Do you prioritise the things in your life
Dm Bb
The things that you hope to do
Cause if not then
C
Mate you'd better trust me when I tell you that
It's not worth forgetting about yourself
Because of one fucking girl
F Dm
She may seem perfect, and gorgeous, and lovely
You'll think she likes you
C F
I mean I thought she loved me, no
Bb
But no
B C F
Neither of us will get down from the shelf
C
The only one she loves is herself
