Rex Orange County – A Song About Being Sad (Ukulele)

F                            A
Always felt like I needed to please her, or impress her

Dm                                           Bbm
Though only in the hope that one day I would undress her

F
Don't be offended

A                                     Bb
You think I'm 'bout to tell you that "I love you"

                                   Bbm
But I really really really fucking don't

F
See the months of obsession

A
And crying for hours

Dm             A                           Bb
I even started sitting down in the shower, girl

Bb        B             C
I'll take my time on my own

C                        F
And I'll be fine now I'm alone

F Bbm F                        A
Constantly told stories with a stretch of the truth

       Dm                                     Bbm
Trying hard to make memories to remember from youth

F                             A
Desperately wanting you to be interested too

Bb
It's not clear what I need yet

Bb             Bbm
But it's clear it's not you

F                                    Am
Here's what I'd say to any young man that's still interested in you

Dm
Do you prioritise the things in your life

                            Bbm
The things that you hope to do

Bb
Cause if not then

Bb B C
Mate you'd better trust me when I tell you that

C
It's not worth forgetting about yourself

F                     A
She may seem perfect, and gorgeous, and lovely

Dm
You'll think she likes you

       Dm            Bbm         Bb
I mean I thought she loved me, no

Bb
But no

Bb B C
Neither of us will get down from the shelf

C
The only one she loves is herself
