Rex Orange County - A Song About Being Sad 
Simple Song, make up own strum pattern but in the song it's slow paced and singular on the strings
[Intro]
Gm7b5  Fmaj7
Gm7b5  Fmaj7
Gm7b5
[Verse 1]
        Fmaj7                 F9
Always felt like I needed to please her, or impress her
  Bbmaj7                                      Gm7b5
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"
                                    Gm7b5
But I really really really fucking don't
   Fmaj7
See the months of obsession
      C        Dbdim7
And crying for hours
   Dm7          Dbm7    Cm7         F9    Bbmaj7
I even started sitting down in the shower, girl
                       C13
I'll take my time on my own
             C7                Fmaj7  Gm7b5  Fmaj7
And I'll be fine now I'm alone
[Verse 2]
 Gm7b5   Fmaj7                    F9
Constantly told stories with a stretch of the truth
       Bbmaj7 Amaj7 Bbmaj7     Amaj7 Bbmaj7       Gm7b5
Trying hard to make memories to re - member from youth
  Fmaj7                        F9
Desperately wanting you to be interested too
          Bbmaj7
It's not clear what I need yet
                    Gm7b5
But it's clear it's not you
                 Fmaj7                        C           Dbdim7
Here's what I'd say to any young man that's still interested in you
Dm7                                        Dbm7
 Do you prioritise the things in your life
     Cm7                   F9   Bbmaj7
The things that you hope to do
Cause if not then
                                              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
Fmaj7                       C            Dbdim7
She may seem perfect, and gorgeous, and lovely
Dm7
You'll think she likes you
Dbm7     Cm7           F9
I mean I thought she loved me, no
     Bbmaj7
But no
                                     C13
Neither of us will get down from the shelf
                            C7
The only one she loves is herself
