Verse 1:

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.

Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall,

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 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.

Chorus 2:

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.

Oh, there's always someone cooler than you.

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