In an acoustic setting accompanying myself, I prefer something a bit more
substantial as follows.  Note that the E/F doesn't work so well in this
setting, so I've substituted E.

You might even try something a little further removed from the original
like picking the root note, strum down-up, then pick the root note one
octave higher, and again strum down-up.

And maybe change it up for the verses, even something like the super common
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
D   D U   U D U
works well.


[Intro]
| A | A | F#m | E |
| A | A | F#m | E |

[Chorus]
                  A
I was out of your league
                                   F#m
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
Continues after the ad
        E
Waiving affections
                   A
You were out of my league
                                  F#m
At a distance that I didn't wanna see
            E
Down to the bottom

[Verse]
D          E        A               F#m
I wanted a junction and often there was one
D                  E              A                 F#m
You'd surface face first and we'd share our thought bubbles
    D               E        A               F#m
And I still believe   in the phrases that we breathed
      Bm                              E
But I know the distance isn't fair to cross

[Chorus]
                  A
I was out of your league
                                   F#m
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
        E
Waiving affections
                   A
You were out of my league
                                  F#m
At a distance that I didn't wanna see
                E
I want to be nearer

[Verse]
D                  E             A                  F#m
Your depths made a pressure that punctured my works and all your
D               E            A           F#m
fluids couldn't tolerate the force of my thirst
  D        E              A               F#m
I love the place where we shared our tiny grace
           Bm                                    E
But just because it's real don't mean it's gonna work

[Chorus]
                  A
I was out of your league
                                   F#m
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
        E
Waiving affections
                   A
You were out of my league
                                  F#m
At a distance that I didn't wanna see
                E
I want to be nearer

[Bridge]
D        E         A
And true affection floats
D    E          A            F#m
True affections sinks like a stone
  D     E       A
I never felt so close
  D     E            A    F#m
I never felt so all alone

[Chorus]
                  A
I was out of your league
                                   F#m
And you were 20,000 underneath the sea
        E
Waiving affections
                   A
You were out of my league
                                  F#m
At a distance that I didn't wanna see
                E
I want to be nearer
