Smart Guys
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:A
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E D E D
E D E D N.C.
[Verse 1]
E D Bm
Well some guys are just born with IQ's of 610
E
When you talk to 'em you need a Thesaurus
D Bm
To understand what's been said
E
And you finally figure it out
D Bm
Then you realize they were showing off
E
Didn't have much to say
D Bm E
The ordinary person just stands there with his hands in his pocket
D
And watches as the genius walks away
[Chorus]
A D E
Smart guys, yeah they will make you feel dumb
A D E
Smart guys, hey I bet you all know some
A Bm
Smart guys, who are smarter than you
E
And they're smarter than I, I am too
D N.C.
Oh, those smart guys
[Interlude]
E D E D
[Verse 2]
E D
Then sometimes someone will say something
D
You'll think "Well, how profound"
E
Then you'll ask 'em about it,
D
Tell you what book they got it from
E
And where you can get it downtown
D
Those deep thinkers man they're awful nice joes
E D
But, I like 'em best, don't talk to us simple folk
E D Bm
They can be helpful when they shoot it to you straight
E
But when they confuse you with the metaphors,
D
Hey, it's hard to relate
[Chorus]
A D E
Smart guys, yeah can make you feel dumb
A D E
Smart guys, hey I bet you know some
A Bm
Smart guys, who are smarter than you
E
And they're smarter than I, I am too
D
Oh, those smart guys
[Bridge]
G
Sometimes things are important,
A D A
And sometimes they're not
G
And those smart guys can make this world a better place
E N.C.
If we all just give it a little more thought
[Interlude]
D E D E
D E D E
[Out-Chorus]
A D E
Smart guys, yeah they can make you feel dumb
A D E
Smart guys, hey I bet you know some
A Bm
Smart guys, who are smarter than you
E
And they're smarter than I, I am too
A D E
Smart guys, yeah they can make you feel dumb
A D E
Smart guys, hey I bet you know some
A Bm
Smart guys, who are smarter than you
E
And they're smarter than I, I am too
D
Oh, those smart guys
