I Was A Square Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I w[Asus4]as a squa[Em]re[Asus4][Am][D]
[A]when [Asus4]you were [A]arou[D]nd.
[Asus4]A little bit shy[D], a little bit green.
[Bm]Stiff as a pair [E]brand -new blue [Em]jean[A]s.
I [D]lived right up the street
[Am]from [D]the [G]sweetest girl in town
[Gm]but I [D]didn[Asus4]'t care.
[D]You see I [A]was a square
[Asus4]when you [A]were around.[D]
[A]I a[Asus4]cted a fool[D], I'd [A]ring your bell[D],
then run and [Bm]hide,
a little afraid [E]of [Em]my serious [A]side.
You [D]were mis -sophisticated,
[Am]while I masquera[D]ded as a[G] clown.
[Gm]I wasn't[D] cool,
[G]I w[D]as actin' a fool[A]
[Asus4]When you [A]were around[D]
[G][A][D][Asus4]
[Am]By t[D]he time [G]I got my courage up
And [Asus4]all the right moves down[A]
You'd gone [D]away to college
[F#m]in som[F#]e bi[Bsus2]g east ern[B] tow[Bsus2]n[B]
But I bet you wouldn't be[E]lieve
[B]how much I've [E]changed
[B]See, I met this [E]girl,
we're on the same [C#m]page
We've been [F#m]talk ing about
getting en[B]gaged
Yes, [E]and all my old rough edges,
Lord, [A]time has smoothed them down
[Am]And it just isn't fair[E],
cause now I'm [B]not a square
But you're [E]not [A]around[E]
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
