Verse 1
E E 
 
I  was quiet as a mouse
B7 B7 
 
When I snuck into your house
E E 
 
And took roofies with your spouse
B7 B7 
 
In  a nit and out a louse
E E 
 
Lice are lousy all the time
B7 B7 
 
They suck your blood drink your wine
E E 
 
Say shut up and quit your crying
B7 B7 
 
Give it time and you'll be

Verse 2
E E 
 
I  like boys with strong convictions
B7 B7 
 
And convicts with perfect diction
E E 
 
Underdogs with good intentions
B7 B7 
 
Amputees with stamp collections
E E 
 
Plywood skinboards ride the ocean
B7 B7 
 
Salty noses, suntan lotion
E E 
 
Always seriously joking
B7 B7 
 
And rambunctiously soft-spoken
E E 
 
I  like boys that like their mothers
B7 B7 
 
And I have a thing for brothers
E E 
 
But they always wait
til we're under the covers
B7 B7 
 
To say I'm sure glad we're not

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming

This is the definitive original version of So Nice So Smart by Kimya Dawson, transcribed exactly as it was recorded in the studio. Unlike our simplified arrangement, this chart preserves the precise chord voicings and progressions in the original key of E major. It is designed for guitarists ready to move past the basics and capture the true feel of Kimya Dawson's performance.
