Nerdfighterlike (Original)

The shirt is from Threadless! Their t-shirts are so freaking cool. http://www.threadless.com/?streetteam=laurenmyrtle

There are two different versions of this song on iTunes, if you're interested. One is played with a ukulele.

The chords are: (capo 2)
G C Bm Bm
Em D Bm A
F#m E D D

I had to write a song for my guitar lesson. It's ridiculous. It's in like three keys and I'm not sure how that works but that's okay. Nerdfighters! Yes, I know my capo is upside down. That's just how I roll.

Here are the lyrics:

I'd seen your videos and I think they're so jokes
And now we're getting flirty with a couple Facebook pokes
I confess that I've adapted to your timezone
At least I don't have to watch Youtube alone

Even though tonight I've got
A date with my bookshelf
I'd much rather touch and hug you
And nothing else

Won't you be in nerdfighterlike with me?
Won't you stay up all night on Skype with me?
We could go on a date to the library
Too bad you don't live anywhere near me

Over a romantic lunch, we'd blurb some lolbooks
Blenderize our meals while other tables give us dirty looks
Do a reading of "Pooh Gets Stuck" in my pants
If we could hang out IRL, I'd do my happy dance

Even though tonight I've got
A date with my bookshelf
I'd much rather touch and hug you
...Maybe something else

Won't you be in nerdfighterlike with me?
Won't you stay up all night on Skype with me?
We'd slow dance to music that's royalty free
Too bad you don't live anywhere near me

Even though tonight I've got
A date with my bookshelf
I'd much rather touch and hug you
...And something else

Won't you be in nerdfighterlike with me?
Too bad you don't live anywhere near me

Does anyone know a way of playing this without the capo on Guitar? I really, really want to play this. D:

[devilishlypure]

@HolyProtection If I don't have a capo, I just play it without it. It's slightly lower, but not terrible for my range.

[longdistancebamboo]

what are the chords without the capo

I only ask cuz im on ukelele

[devilishlypure]

@longdistancebamboo I usually play the same chords on the ukulele, because it's slightly better for my range when I'm on tour and I need to go a bit easier on my voice. But I'll do the math for you... sorry if it's not correct, I haven't tested it. A D C#m, F#m E C#m B, G#m F# E.

[mrpiggyfans]

so for my future wedding, could you possibly play this? i feel like in a few years, you'll be getting millions of requests for this from hardcore nerdfighters in love.

:)

Lauren, this is so cool. I started watching your videos on FiveAwesomeGirls, kind of late in the game, and you got me interested in the Brothers Green, so I'm watching all their videos in order now and here you are! :) <3

I love the whole Nerdfighter community! Thank you for introducing me to it and for never forgetting to be awesome.

[englishshaw]

I just asked a girl to be in nerdfighterlike with me. She is now my girlfriend. TELL ALL THE INTERWEBS!

[invisiblegirl48]

This is the most adorable song I've ever heard! <333

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@mackzekerule Football is important too. Otherwise There would be no Marching Band, and I'd feel sadder and miss my bad ass Shako.

[ReKrisB]

Wow, you're awesome ^_^

[captainparadoxius]

This is quickly becoming my favorite song, but I miss Katherine's harmony in the chorus from the vlogbrother cover. :(

[Raffalaffs]

I've played this again and again all the way through my revision, and its made me smile every time.

DFTBA, infact scratch that DFTBEMA (Don't forgot to be even more awesome)

[JilleyWillyNilly]

O.O you excede my awesome scale

[HolyProtection]

@devilishlypure Okay. Thanks. [:
