G                          C                          G               C
Its always been up to your friends, they'll make your mind up, for you
G                            C                  G                    C
The popularity's gone to your head, but still I don't, ignore you
Em          D                C               G     D
You ran for school election, you even got my vote
              Em           D                 C                  G     D
And did you know, my favourite pastime's poetry, and yesterday I wrote
 
[CHORUS]
G
Just because I'm nerdy,
D
and my friends are thirty,
Em                                C
Doesn't mean that I swing that way,
G
You've got complications
D
And a reputation
Em                           C
I wouldn't wanna get in your way,
G
Or anyway

[Verse 2]
G                               C
This morning you walked past my door,
G                              C
Just like a daydream, but much more,
G                           C
I followed you round to the store,
G                              C
And I was shell-shocked, When I saw
Em           D
You and your friends were smoking,
C                  G      D
It always makes me choke,
 
And did you know,
Em         D
I'd do anything to have you,
C                       G    D
But I wouldn't take a toke
(Hey)
 
[CHORUS]
G
Just because I'm nerdy,
D
and my friends are thirty,
Em                                C
It doesn't mean that I swing that way,
G
You've got complications
D
And a reputation
Em                           C
I wouldn't wanna get in your way,
G
Or anyway
 
G  D  Em  C  x2
 
Em          D
You said my words were beautiful
C                    G   D
They almost made you cry
Em           D                C
The markings on the wall were jaded
         C
I wonder why
 
[Chorus]
G
Just because you're nerdy
D
And your friends are thirty
Em                                C
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
G
She's got complications
D
And a reputation
Em                        C
Go ahead and stand in her way
G
Just because you're nerdy
D
And your friends are thirty
Em                                C
Doesn't mean she won't swing your way
G
She's got complications
D
And a reputation
Em                        C
Go ahead and stand in her way
G
Or anyway
