N.C.
Safer for us both
AThat stuff was a million years ago
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mWhen you got acBcepted, I went Eloopy
Hoping Ayou'd be on my C#mteam
When you got Baccepted, I was Atotally ridiculous
[Chorus]
EWe were the Bones who always felt F#awkward, socially Acornered
And I still feel the Esame
Still dreading the Blaughter, like, what does it F#matter?
It's not what I'm Aafter, anyway

EI won't take a compliment,
but I will Aruminate for hours on a single mean remark
ECollecting them like ornaments,
the nasty Athings that people say,
that I save up to think about when it gets C#mdark
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mWhen you got acBcepted, I went Eloopy
Hoping Ayou'd be on my C#mteam
When you got Baccepted, I was Atotally ridiculous

And I still feel the Esame
Still dreading the Blaughter, like, what does it F#matter?
It's not what I'm Aafter, anyway

[Intro]

E A C#m B

(x4)

[Verse 1]

E A

It must have been October, the last time that we spoke

N.C.

And though I think about you,

I decided that it's safer where we left it,

N.C.

Safer for us both

That stuff was a million years ago

[Pre-Chorus]

C#m B E

When you got accepted, I went loopy

A C#m

Hoping you'd be on my team

B A

When you got accepted, I was totally ridiculous

[Chorus]

E B F# A

We were the ones who always felt awkward, socially cornered

And I still feel the same

B F#

Still dreading the laughter, like, what does it matter?

It's not what I'm after, anyway

[Instrumental]

E A C#m B

(x2)

[Verse 2]

I won't take a compliment,

but I will ruminate for hours on a single mean remark

Collecting them like ornaments,

the nasty things that people say,

C#m

that I save up to think about when it gets dark

[Pre-Chorus]

C#m B E

When you got accepted, I went loopy

A C#m

Hoping you'd be on my team

B A

When you got accepted, I was totally ridiculous

[Chorus]

E B F# A

We were the ones who always felt awkward, socially cornered

And I still feel the same

Still dreading the laughter, like, what does it matter?

It's not what I'm after, anyway

I can't help feeling like I did that October day

E A C#m B

Ten years later, I'm so glad that it's over

E A C#m B E
