[Verse]
            D                               A
When you're hanging with a friend you don't see very much
You know the kind
C                        G
See them once a year for coffee or brunch
        D                       A                  C
And you struggle really hard to think of things to talk about
G
Oh
       D                          A
So you talk about the weather and pretend that you care
         C                          G
When she says she's tried something new with her hair
       D    
So you fake a smile 
         A                        C            G
then the worst thing in the world happens

[Chorus]
     D                G7            C G
This awful thing also happens in an uber
    D                            G7
Its also very common when you're with strangers
      C    G
in an elevator
   E7                                              A
So brace yourself cuz this awful thing is about to occur

pause
            D
its awkward silence {its the worst thing in the world}

[Verse 2]
         D                                   A     
When you go to your friends house and you're hanging with him
           C                                 G
And you're having lots of fun and then their parents walk in
    D                   A                    C
But suddenly the friend decides to leave the room 
 G
Oh NO
          D                           A
You small talk with the parents for a minute or two 
         C                               G
But that doesn't last long and you don't know what to do 
        D                              A                            C
And you know whats coming next and you pray your friend to come and save you 
G
Mm

[Chorus]
     D                G7            C G
This awful thing also happens in an uber
    D                            G7
Its also very common when you're with strangers
      C    G
in an elevator
   E7                                              A
So brace yourself cuz this awful thing is about to occur

pause
            D      
its awkward silence

[Bridge]
        G7                             
I would rather have a hangnail i would rather date your mom

I would rather get a paper cut of lick a bathroom stall
C           Cm                  D 
Anything is better than awkward silence 
        G7                               
I would rather watch (Fossil Creek) I'd rather eat your poo

I would rather not skip the ad on YouTube
C           Cm                  D
Anything is better than awkward silence
        G7            
I would rather step in ice cube puddles while wearing socks
G7
I would rather use my nails on chalk board instead of chalk
C           Cm                  D
Anything is better than awkward silence 
        G7 
I would rather have the (ria) or watch my parents hump 

I'd rather listen to Nickelback or hang out with Trump- 

Pause. {Actually, I'd rather not do that...No}
       C           Cm
Almost anything is better than awkward
