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

But you probably won't,
Em
You think you're cooler than me.
C D

You're cooler than me.
C D
and you never say hey,

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.
