                               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
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
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
