Verse
 
G               C 
So aesthetically intimidating 
G                    C 
The way you wear your hair 
G                      C 
Like you e never used a mirror  
G                           C 
Like you've never stopped to care 
G                             C 
All your friends they talk so smart 
G                      C 
Indie films and obscure bands  
G                            C 
You're all out there in the coolest part of left field  
G                           C 
I'm with the masses in the stands  

Pre-Chorus 1 

Bm                     C          G 
Shouldn't you find me plain upon reflection 
G                         C      C/D 
With my highlights and my pop cd collection? But you say 


G               C 
"Laura, you're a joy dear 
G               C 
How fast can you pack and get here 
     G             C 
My 'Whidden,' oh I love you so" 
         Am 
Then you tell me all your secrets 
        G                      C 
And you say you're glad we're family 
Am     G     C            C/D   G C G C 
Could I be as amazing as you are to me? 

Verse 2
 
G                          C 
You play instruments that no one's ever heard of 
G                      C 
You wear jaunty cowboy hats 
G                               C 
Everyone who meets you hopes you like them 
G                               C 
Anyone who's lost you wants you back 

Pre-Chorus 2 

Bm                     C              G 
Shouldn't you find me bland, or maybe boring 
Bm                                  C                  C/D 
Cuz I watched runaway bride for the 15th time just this morning But you say 

 
G                C 
"Laura, you're a joy dear 
G                C 
How fast can you pack and get here 
G                  C 
My 'Whidden,' oh I love you so" 
          Am        
Then you tell me all your secrets 
         G                    C 
And you say you're glad we're family 
         Am    
Then we stay up all night talking  
         G                   C 
and you say you'll never lose me 
Am      G      C       C/D       G C G C 
Could I be as amazing as you are to me?
