*from 'Sunny 16 E.P' (2003)*


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.

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.
              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.

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

 Life is wonderful, life is beautiful,
F          E7           C       D
 We're all children of, one big Universe,
F             E7          (C)
 So you don't have to be a chump.

Hesi-tate, (hesitate),
           G
'Cos every moment life is slipping away, (away),

It's o-k, (it's ok).

Chorus 3:

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