Biography:
'Rex Orange County' is Alex O’Connor. A self-taught drummer, Alex grew-up in outskirts of London in Haslemere, Surrey. After applying keys, vocals and anything he could find to write loose-footed, fluid, personable songs about being bored and disillusioned, his self-produced eleven-track debut bedroom album ‘bcos u will never b free’ was released on September 2015. It was followed by the singles ‘UNO’ (2016) and 'Best friend' in January 2017.

[Verse 1]
C E7
Who am I to judge
Am
The people who don't care for me
Fm C
When I don't care about them either
E7
And who am I to judge
Am
The friends that I once thought I knew
G F C
They're all off doing what they wanna do
E7 Am
I'm falling to pieces
A7
When I'm on my own
[Verse 2]
D# A#
Even though I'm a walking emotion
D# A#
And I can't go a day without you
D# A#
I saw myself as less and you saw high above me
D# D
But I hope that you can learn to love me
[Verse 3]
C
4 seasons, they've flied by
B
And I cry usually in the evening
Before I calm myself and start sleeping
Em
And I'm asleeping cause each weekend is like a Monday to me
B
She stays behind a bar at work
Fm
So I'm getting Redbull for free
C
And I'm so bored of being awkward, I hit my head against a door
B
All night she may be much less awkward, I'm not so awkward anymore
Em
And I'm flying back to LA, and I can't wait for her to see
Fm
And I'm not fucking with first class, but I sure like a sleeper seat, so
[Bridge 1]
G D# B Em
I'll find a spot that's just for me and see if I can cope
B C
without an ounce of pain, without an ounce of pain
[Chorus]
G D# B
Em
Now that you're around I pray you don't go
Cm
And we don't even need to mention
G
All the things that matter, or anything you're stressing 'bout
D#
Just tell why your day was good
B Em
And love me after hours
Now that you're around I pray you don't go
B Cm
Cause since you made me social, I'm no longer even solo
[Verse 4]
G
So thank you, and thanks bro with the wet shirt and the front row
D# B
Sweat shirt that's young me playin' Erica, afro
Em
Way back, back when I would have worn a snapback
B
But fuck that, fuck that
[Bridge 2]
G
And I hate myself for what I'm 'bout to say
B
But I feel as if it's time to get away
Em
I'll find a spot that's just for me and see if I can cope
B Cm
Without an ounce of pain, without an ounce of pain
[Bridge 3]
(3x)
G
Said the likelihood just frightens me and it's easier to hide
C B C
But I can't ignore it endlessly, eventually things die
B Am
But if only he'd remember my name
Cm
One final time
[Chorus]
G
All the things that matter, or anything you're stressing 'bout
D#
Just tell why your day was good

And love me after hours
