E
I notice how she looks at me
                   E
But I pretend that I don't see
             A
It's easier if I let the tension subside
                 E
I've seen it in the books I read
                    E
A magic that you cannot see
            A
There's no limitations
  A
They wear it with pride


[ pre-Chorus]
   G#m
But the characters I read never act or look like me
    E                               A
I can't depend on them to lead me through the right door
     G#m                               A
And what's the point of falling when I know I'm only stalling
                           D
'Cause I have to go back home


[Chorus]

                            E
Where I'm just one in the herd
                  G#m
Tripping over my words
                    A
Trying hard to go with the grain
              A             B
Keeping the quirks in my brain
   E                            G#m
I'm on the brink of discovery I think
                    A
But what if I am dreaming?
                 B
That's what it seems like
             E                          G#m
'Cause this girl thinks I'm part of her world
                 A
And that new territory's scary...
   D                        A
if I turn the handle am I asking for a scandal?
B                    E
Should I try to be ordinary?

[Verse 2]
                     E
I've always been a little odd the only pee inside the pod
                A
That's not an expression i'm guessin'..

oh well.
     E
See that's exactly what I mean!
                    E
I'm just as awkward as I seem
                    A
Plus she makes me nervous
   A
I hope she can't tell

[pre-Chorus]
    G#m
What is it she sees in this cluster clump of me?
     E                          B
Or could it maybe be I'm going crazy ?
    G#m              A
And hey! Who am I kidding?
       A
This isn't some sweet beginnin
                       D
Just a detour to the end!


[Chorus]
            E
Then back in the herd
                 G#m
Tripping over my words
                           A
Trying hard to go with the grain
                          B
Keeping the quirks in my brain
          E        G#m
I'm on the brink of discovery I think
                    A
But what if I'm dreaming?

[pre-chorus]
  A
Do I rewind? Induce amnesia?
E
Pretend I didn't see her?
  B
Succomb to stupid fear
 E         B            A
Or just believe in my heart?
            A
Why play a part ?

[Chorus]
                 E
Why follow the herd
                     G#m
Why not trust in my words
                      A
Don't wanna go with the grain
                        B
Why try to make myself plain?
             E.                    G#m
I'm on the brink of rediscovery I think
     A
So what if I'm dreaming ?
             A            B
I like the scene that I'm in
           E                    G#m
And this girl is a part of this world
                       A
The thought of being normal's far more scary

[Otro]
         A
I'll be brave and I'll be kind
         A
I'll make a choice and change my mind
         A
I will mess up all the time
         A
They'll say I'm weird but I'll be fine
            A            B
I'll be anything but ordinary!
