Verse 1:
E Emaj7
I notice how she looks at me
E Emaj7
But I pretend that I don't see
Abm E -note-
It's easier if I let the tension subside
Verse 2:
E Emaj7
I've seen it in the books I read
E Emaj7
a magic that you cannot see
Abm
There's no limitations
Aadd9
They wear it with pride
Bridge 1:
Abm B
But the characters I read
Esus2 E
Never act or look like me
B Esus2 E
I can't depend on them to lead me through the right door!
Pre-Chorus 1:
Ebm E
And what's the point of falling
D Aadd9
When I know I'm only stalling
D Bsus4 B
'cause I have to go back home
Chorus 1:
Dbm
Where I'm just one in the herd!
B
Tripping over my words
Aadd9
Trying hard to go with the grain
Bsus4 Cdim
Keeping the quirks in my brain
Dbm
I'm on the brink of discovery
B
I think
Gbadd9
But what if I'm dreaming
Bsus4 B
That's what it seems like
Chorus 2:
Dbm
'cause this girl
Eaug
Thinks I'm part of her world
A Am
And that new territory's scary
D
If I turn the handle
A
Am I asking for a scandal
B E Emaj7
Should I try to be ordinary?
B -note- E
mmbaaaaaaah
Verse 3:
E Emaj7
I've always been a little odd
E Emaj7
The only pea inside the pod
Abm
That's not an expression, I'm guessin'
-nc-
Oh well
Verse 4:
A Cdim E Emaj7
See that's exactly what I mean!
E Emaj7
I'm just as awkward as I seem
Abm
Plus she makes me nervous
Aadd9
I hope she can't tell
Bridge 2:
Bsus4 B
What is it she sees?
E
In this cluster-clump of me
-nc- B D E
Or could it maybe be I'm going crazy
Ebm E
And hey, who am I kidding?
D A
This isn't some sweet beginning
D Bsus4
Just a detour to the end
Chorus 3:
Dbm
Then back to the herd!
B
Tripping over my words
Aadd9
Trying hard to go with the grain
Bsus4 B
Keeping the quirks in my brain
Eaug Dbm B
I'm on the brink of discovery, I think
Gbadd9 A
But what if I'm dreaming?
Bridge 3:
A
Do I rewind, induce amnesia?
Abm
Pretend I didn't see her
A
Sucxxxb to stupid fear
Dbm B Gbadd9
Or just believe in my heart?
C D
Why play a pa-art?
Chorus 4:
Dbm
Why follow the herd?
B
Why not trust in my words?
Aadd9
I don't wanna go with the grain
Bsus4 B
Why try to make myself plain?
Eaug Dbm B
I'm on the brink of rediscovery, I think
Gbadd9
So what if I'm dreaming?
B
I like the scene that I'm in
Chorus 5:
Dbm Eaug
And this girl is a part of this world
A Am
The thought of being normal's far more scary
Post-Chorus 2:
Gbm
I'll be brave and I'll be kind!
I'll make a choice and change my mind!
A
I'll mess up all the time
Gb
They'll say I'm weird, but I'll be fine
B E
And I'll be anything but ordinary!
