C                       G
 Smile, like you've got nothing to prove,

          F
No matter what you might do;

                                 C
There's always someone out there cooler than you.
Verse 2:
C              G                              F
 I know that's hard to believe, but there are people you meet,

             C                            G
They're into something that is too big to be,

   F                      C
Ex-pressed, through their clothes,

                G
And they'll put up with all the poses you'll throw,

                    C
And you, won't even know;
Verse 3:
C                 G                             F
 That they're not sizing you up; they know your mom fucked you up,

                       C
Or maybe let you watch too much TV.

                  G                              F
But they'll still look in your eyes, to find the human inside,

                 C                            G
You know there's always something in there to see,

   F             C
Be-neath, the ve-neer,

          G                                    F
Not every-body made the list this year; have a beer.
Chorus 1:
C             G          Am             E7
 Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall,

            F              C           G
But there's always someone cooler than you.

G                 C                   F
 Yeah, you're the shit, but you won't be here for long,

            G              C           F
Oh, there's always someone cooler than you.

Yeah, there's always someone cooler than you.
Verse 4:
C              G                     F
 Now that I've got the disease, in a way I'm relieved,

                              C
'Cos I don't have to stress a-bout it like you do.

             G                             F
I might just get up and dance, or buy some Acid-wash pants,

               C
When you don't care, then you got nothing to lose.

      F           C
And I won't, hesi-tate,

           G                                  F
'Cos every moment life is slipping away; it's ok.

C             G          Am             E7

But there's always someone cooler than you.

G                 C                   F
 Yeah, you're the shit, but you won't be here for long,

Oh, there's always someone cooler than...
