(E minor) (D major) (E minor)
Verse 1
(E minor) He's a really cool (B minor) guy
He's got a cool (A minor) shirt
He's got cool shoes
Did I mention the shirt? (E minor)
If you ever got the (B minor) chance to meet him
(A minor) You'd know why I want to be him
(E minor) He walks into a room
and (B minor) everyone respects him (A minor)
He reads the news and doesn't
let that shit affect him (E minor)
He's really happy, he's (B minor) thrilled to be alive
