[Em] [D] [E] [N] He's a really cool guy, he's got a cool shirt, he's got cool shoes, did I mention the shirt?
If you ever got the chance to meet him, you'd know why I want [Em] to be him.
He [Bm] walks into a room and everyone [Am] respects him, he reads the news and doesn't let that [Em] shit affect him.
He's [Bm] really happy, he's thrilled to be alive, his name is Annie White Guy [Em] in 1985.
[Bm] White Guy, [Am] 1985, Annie White Guy, [Em] White [Bm] Guy, [Am] 1985, Annie White Guy, [E] 1985.
He's got a job and a family, how does he do it?
Balances work with [A] his wife's [Em] underwhelming cooking.
[Bm] He's got all the answers [Am] that I want to know, how can I be what I am?
But [Em] 40 years ago, he [Bm] isn't got it [Em] and he's wrong, I am the thing he is, but he isn't and I'm wrong.
I guess it's true that some [Bm] people really gotta fight to survive, and some people [Em] are White Guys in 1985.
White [Bm] Guy, [Am] 1985, Annie White Guy, 1985, [Em] White [Bm] Guy, [Am] 1985, Annie White Guy, [Em] 1985.
Wait, it wasn't easy being [G] any White Guy in 1985.
[D] Some White Guys were [C] living through the AIDS crisis, [Em] some White Guys were [G] retaliating.
And [D] I'm not saying it's hard being a White Guy now, [C] I've misspoke.
[Em] I don't mean [Bm] to lump a group of people [Am] in a hive, I think I [C#] just met my dad in [F#m] 1985.
My [C#m] dad, [Bm] 1985, my [D] father, [F#m] 1985, my [C#m] dad, 1985, [F#] Scott Burnham, 1985.
Scott Burnham, [C#m] I don't wanna be my [Bm] dad, I don't wanna be my [F#m] dad, my [C#m] dad, [Bm] 1985.
Scott Burnham, [F#m] 1985, [C#m] my dad, 1985, [Bm]
my dad, 1985.
I'd be [F#m] happy if I have been like [C#m] anybody, dead or alive,
