    Too Cool For School

I'll assume you know the rythm of the song and everything, so I'll just put the chords...

I know the chords are right, but they add some weird notes to it I tried to get 
them right, this is the best I could do...

  
C#7:  x4345x  
F#m7: 242222  or  242252
A:    x02220  or  577655
B:    x24442  or  799877
D:    xx0232  or  x57775
Dm:   xx0231  or  x57765
C#:   X46664
F#m^: xx4x55

This is what the 2nd guitar basically does while the other one plays the F#m7...

Actually it only does the F#m^ chord, but I added the other part for you to 
understand the rythm...

Verse 1:
        F#m7
He walks alone under the big city lights
           F#m7                C#7
He always knows just when the time is right
          F#m7             A
He never shows what he's thinking
    B          D
He keeps it inside

C#7
 You better let him in

             F#m7
He's got his own way of getting things done

He's always looking out for number one
F#m7          A                   B        D
Don't try to beat him 'cause he's already won
