                Cm7 
But it's all the same 
                D6 
I could have foreseen 
                   Em 
That you would act like you are 
               Cm7 
Oh so cool you seem 
                   D6 
Blending with that scene 
                 Em 
Wearing what you think is hard 
  
                    Cm7 
Oooh, ah, ah, ah ay ya 
                    Bm7 
Oooh, ah, ah, ah ay ya 
                    Em 
Oooh, ah, ah, ah ay ya 


              Cm7 
I can see you struggling 
                     Bm7 
Boy, don't hurt your brain 
                     Em 
Thinking what you're gonna say 
                     Cm7 
Cause everything's a game 
                 Bm7 
Always trying to calculate 
               Em 
Trying to look smart but not too smart 
To threaten anything they say 

                    Cm7 
Oooh, ah, ah, ah ay ya 
                    Bm7 
Oooh, ah, ah, ah ay ya 
                    Em 
Oooh, ah, ah, ah ay ya
