Chords and lyrics for In Awe Of The Awful by Ordinary Boys

 
You barged into
A 
this a lie
 
And now you’re far  
G 
too deep to…stop,
 
When your eyes were  
A 
full of fire
 
And you didn’t  
G 
feel 
 
tense
 
When you lie to o
A 
ne 
 
another
 
It’s that there’s
G 
nothing left to say,
 
The words ‘I Lo
A 
ve You’ fill a
F# 
wkward 
 
silences
 
A

nd I won’t be here, no  
G 
I won’t comfort

I Luv You

Chords and lyrics for I Luv You by Ordinary Boys

A 
I’m not gonna patronize ya,
E 
It doesn’t make it any better,
D 
to just steal kind words off Phil Spector.
 
A 
And I know all these tired cliches,
E 
Cause cliches don’t have any impact,
D 
so I guess I will be matter of fact.
E 
Cause it’s so good to know ya
D 
that I just don’t know how to show ya
 
A 
I luv you,
D 
you know that,  
E 
don’t 
 
you?
A 
I luv you?
 
A 
I’m so sorry that I’m losing,
E 
When I finally get my words together,
D 
I choke and they are gone forever.
 
A 
Words are words and they mean nothing,
E 
So let’s be hasty, let’s be wreckless,
D 
Cause being with you leaves me breathless.
E 
Cause it’s so good to know ya
D 
that I just don’t know how to show ya

And I wonder how
