A Song About Being Sad by Rex Orange County - Guitar Chords

How to play the guitar chord Csharpm7.jpg
<< Back to Rex Orange County Song List
Version 1 Version 2
            Version 1 is completely wrong and the youtube tutorials I found all had minor errors.
Fairly certain these are the correct chords with timings.

Listen to the recording for the picking/strumming, bass notes, and mutes.
Good luck!

[Intro]
Gm11b5 Gm7b5 Fmaj7
Gm7b5 Fmaj7
Gm7b5


[Verse 1]
       Fmaj7                 F9
Always felt like I needed to please her, or impress her
       Bbmaj7                                Edim7
Though only in the hope that one day I would undress her
Fmaj7
    Don't be offended
    F9                                 Bbmaj7
You think I'm 'bout to tell you that "I love you"
                                   Edim7
But I really really really fucking don't
        Fmaj7
See the months of obsession
    C6            A7/C#
And crying for hours
Dm7            C#m7    Cm7         F7b9   Bbmaj7
I even started sitting down in the shower, girl
                       C7b13- C13
I'll take my time on my own
            C7              Fmaj7
And I'll be fine now I'm alone

Gm7b5 Fmaj7


[Verse 2]
  Gm7b5 Fmaj7                   F9
Constantly told stories with a stretch of the truth
       Bbmaj7  Amaj7-Bbmaj7     Amaj7-Bbmaj7  Edim7
Trying hard to make memories to remember from youth
     Fmaj7                    F9
Desperately wanting you to be interested too
         Bbmaj7
It's not clear what I need yet
                        Edim7
But it's clear it's not you


[Bridge]
       Fmaj7                                 C6                  A7/C#
Here's what I'd say to any young man that's still interested in you
   Dm7                               C#m7
Do you prioritise the things in your life
    Cm7                     F7b9
The things that you hope to do
Bbmaj7
  Cause if not then
                                             C7b13- C13
Mate you'd better trust me when I tell you that
                                   C7
It's not worth forgetting about yourself

Because of one fucking girl


[Outro]
Fmaj7                     C6            A7/C#
She may seem perfect, and gorgeous, and lovely
Dm7
You'll think she likes you
C#m7    Cm7          F7b9
I mean I thought she loved me, no
        Bbmaj7
But no
                                      C7b13- C13
Neither of us will get down from the shelf
         C7
The only one she loves is herself
