[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

[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

Oh, those smart guys
