Too Pretty For The Nerds by Taylor John Williams




               Too Pretty For The Nerds







This is tuned a half-step down.  For the acoustic, capo on 
6th fret.
The strum pattern is simple: bass note then
the three strings above it (just listen to the song).
Side note: he does not play the top E string typically
* means picking




Intro: Am    G     F      C  G     Am     G     F  Em     C

C
Lovely thing, she's a city girl so
Am                                                                          F
Brought up in a town where there's nowhere to go but down
           C   G
But the song
C
That came from a voice made a yellow paint picture
Am                                                         F
Beautiful sound making everyone miss her now
      C    G
I'm waiting
Am      Em
Though she is

C                        G
Too pretty for the nerds, but
Am                          F                           C
Far too nerdy for the fine fake flirty male type,
C                                          Am     Em
Using transcendental words to swoon her.
C                          G
So she's frozen in between those
Am                            F                              C
Old love saying she's a young heartbreaking machine.
C                G7                 Am                   Em
It's simple, I suppose, she'll make you wanna say
                       C    G    Am    F
She's perfect for me
                       C    G    Am    F
She's perfect for me

- C    G    Am   F -
C
How can she find all this love when she's so stuck
Am                                                        F
Can't she rely on something like dumb luck now
     C   G
Oh how
C
The problem is this,
C                                         Am
Hard-headed stuck as (I) reach at her with gifts
Am                                      F
While the nerds are too shy, oh my
        C  G
It's a lose
Am                  Em
At least for the girl who's

C                        G
Too pretty for the nerds, but
Am                          F                           C
Far too nerdy for the fine fake flirty male type,
C                                          Am     Em
Using transcendental words to swoon her.
C                          G
So she's frozen in between those
Am                            F                              C
Old love saying she's a young heartbreaking machine.
C                G7                 Am                   Em
And it's simple, I suppose, she'll make you wanna say
                        F*   C*   G*  Am*   F*   G*
She's perfect for me

                               Am*        F*             G*
It's what you want to say when she comes around
                                  Am*         F*              G*
You won't know what to say when she comes around
                         Am*         F*             G*                    Am*            
       F*                    G*
What is there to say when you're only bound to wind up falling short and wishing you had been

C                           G
Just perfect for the girl who
Am                               F
Makes you smile and it's so worthwhile, and
C                               G
Every moment's like a clue that
Am   (stop strumming)    C
Something's happening to you.
C                                  G
When she's looking your way, and
       Am                  F
You suddenly find a reason to stay,
C                                     G
Just pray or whatever you do to
Am                         Em
Make sure you don't lose the girl who's

C                        G
Too pretty for the nerds, but
Am                          F                           C
Far too nerdy for the fine fake flirty male type,
C                                          Am     Em
Using transcendental words to swoon her.
C                          G
So she's frozen in between those
Am                            F                              C
Old love saying she's a young heartbreaking machine.
C                G7                 Am                   Em
And it's simple, I suppose, she'll make you wanna say
                        C
She's perfect for me
