Verse 1
       C 
It's a beatnik kind of city 
           G 
Don't they all look so damn pretty 
        Am               D 
I gotta straighten up my smile 
           Em               G 
It's gonna take me a little while 
         C 
I hope I-I don't wear out my name 
         G 
Before I get my sheriff fame 
          Am                    D 
While the rest of the world got high 
            Em             G 
I just been sitting on the sidelines 
         C 
and no I don't wanna wear out my welcome 
               G 
Just because i didn't decide to go retro 
      Am         D 
And i ain't from 65' 
   Em       G            C G D 
or 7, 8, or 69, let's go 
 
Chorus
   D                        C G D 
My guitar's too cool for me 
   D                        C G D D7 
My guitar's too cool for me 
 
Verse 2
             C 
I guess it'd help if I got the right show 
       G 
Invite all the seamsters in the know 
    Am 
And swallow up my pride 
    D   Em           G 
and say i'm on their side 
              C 
Yes i'd say I like your band so much 
         G 
I mean I love that band they're such 
  Am                D 
a talented group of friends 
        Em               G 
I can't wait to see them again 
         C 
and your label now it's so funny 
         G 
I always dreamed would want me, now where's my money 
       Am                   D 
twenty grand to record some tunes 
             Em               G       C G D 
I'd do it at home in an afternoon, go 
 
Chorus
D                               C G D 
But my guitar's too cool for me 
D                               C G D 
Yeah my guitar's too cool for me
