Verse 1:
C
Smile,
G
Like you've got nothing to prove,
F
No matter what you might do;
There's always someone out there,
C
Cooler than you.
Verse 2:
C G
I know that's hard to believe,
F
But there are people you meet,
C
They're into something that is,
G
Too big to be;
F
Ex-pressed,
C
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
That they're not sizing you up;
F
They know your mom fucked you up,
C
Or maybe let you watch too much TV,
G
But they'll still look in your eyes,
F
To find the human inside,
C
You know there's always something,
G
In there to see,
F
Beneath;
C
The veneer,
G
Not every-body made the list this year;
F
Have a beer.
Chorus 1:
C G
Make me feel tiny,
Am E7
If it makes you feel tall,
F C G
But there's always someone cooler than you.

Yeah, you're the shit,
F
But you won't be here for long,
G C F
Oh, there's always someone cooler than you.
G (C)
Yeah, there's always someone cooler than you.
Verse 4:
C G
Now that I've got the disease,
F
In a way I'm relieved,
'Cos I don't have to stress,
C
A-bout it like you do.
G
I might just get up and dance,
F
Or buy some Acid-wash pants,
C
When you don't care,
Then you got nothing to lose.
F
And I won't;
C
Hesitate,
G
'Cos every moment,
Life is slipping away;
F
It's ok.
