Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Staccato27
Had this one stuck in my head for a while, and decided to learn it, but all the other tabs are incorrect,
which was rage inducing, to say the least.
So I figured it out by ear and wrote this up.
Enjoy!
The song is in Gm, so with a capo third, it's Em. Without a capo, it's Eb F Gm. So if you don't have a capo,
hit the handy transpose button on the left, and bring it up 3 steps, so the blue highlighted chords should
say Eb F Gm.
[Em] [C] [D]
If I could write you a song,
[Em]
to make you fall in love,
[C] [D] [Em]
I would already have you up under my arm.
[C] [D]
I used up all my tricks,
[Em]
I hope that you like this.
[C] [D]
But you probably won't,
[Em]
You think you're cooler than me.
[C] [D]
You got designer shades,
[Em]
Just to hide your face and
[C] [D]
You wear them around like,
[Em]
You're cooler than me.
[C] [D]
yeah, you never say hey,
[Em]
Or remember my name. and
[C] [D]
It's probably cause,
[Em]
you think you're cooler than me.
*electronic bass comes in, just play the same progression*
[C] [D]
You got your hot crowd,
[Em]
Shoes on your feet,
[C] [D]
and you wear them around,
[Em]
Like they ain't shit.
[C] [D]
But you don't know,
[Em]
The way that you look,
[C]
When your steps
[D] [Em]
Make. That. Much. Noise? Shh
Pre-chorus
[C] [D]
See I got you,
[Em]
all figured out,
[C] [D] [Em]
You need everyone's eyes just to feel seen.
[C] [D]
Behind your make-up
[Em] [C] [D]
nobody knows who you even are
[Em]
Who do you think that you are?
Chorus
[C] [D]
If I could write you a song,
[Em]
and make you fall in love,
[C] [D] [Em]
I would already have you up under my arm.
[C] [D]
I used up all my tricks,
[Em]
I hope that you like this.
[C] [D]
But you probably won't,
[Em]

[C] [D]
and you never say hey,
[Em]
Or remember my name. and
[C] [D]
It's probably cause,
[Em]
you think you're cooler than me.
Verse 2
[C] [D]
You got your hot crowd,
[Em]
Switching your walk,
[C] [D] [Em]
and you don't even look when you pass by.
[C] [D]
But you don't know,
[Em]
The way that you look,
[C]
When your steps
[D] [Em]
Make. That. Much. Noise? Shh
Pre-chorus
[C] [D]
See I got you,
[Em]
all figured out,
[C] [D] [Em]
You need everyone's eyes just to feel seen.
[C] [D]
Behind your make-up
[Em] [C] [D]
nobody knows who you even are
[Em]
Who do you think that you are?
[Am] [C]
'Cause it sure seems ('cause it sure seems)
[Am] [C]
You got no doubts (that you got no doubts)
[Am] [C]
But we all see (we all see)
[Am] [C]
You got your head in the clouds (That sustained vocal note in the recording is a Bb,
which is a 5th
for the Eb, or C relative to the capo)
So it sounds really good if you keep your pinky on
that 3rd fret (relative to the capo on the e string
for this next chorus.
Chorus
[C] [D]
If I could write you a song,
[Em]
and make you fall in love,
[C] [D] [Em]
I would already have you up under my arm.
