[Intro]
---------------------
Em
D | Em 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Em                   Bm
  He's a really cool guy
                  Am
He’s got a cool shirt
He's got cool shoes
Did I mention the shirt?
Em                    Bm
  If you ever got the chance to meet him
Am
  You'd know why I want to be him
Em                         Bm
  He walks into a room and everyone respects him
Am
  He reads the news and doesn’t let that shit affect him
Em                        Bm
  He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive
    Am
His name is any white guy in 1985

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Em         Bm
White guy, 1985
Am
  White guy, 1985
Em         Bm
White guy, 1985
Am
  White guy, 1985

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Em                       Bm
  He's got a job and a family; how does he do it?
Am
Balance his work with his wife's underwhelming cooking
Em                    Bm                    Am
  He's got all the answers that I wanna know
How can I be what I am but 40 years ago
    Em                     Bm
Gee whiz, he got it and he flaunts
                  Am
I am the thing he is, but he isn't when I want
                       Em                        Bm
I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive
    Am
And some people are white guys in 1985

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Em         Bm
White guy, 1985
Am
  White guy, 1985
Em         Bm
White guy, 1985
Am
  White guy, 1985
Wait!

[Bridge]
---------------------
Em                       G
  It wasn’t easy being any white guy in 1985
D                            C
 Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis
Em                         G
Some white guys were... Italian
              D
And I’m not saying it's hard being a white guy now
C
 I’ve misspoke

[Pre-Chorus]
---------------------
Em                              D
I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive
Am                             C#7
I think I just meant my dad in 1985

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
F#m     C#m
My dad, 1985
Bm
  My father, 1985
F#m     C#m Bm
My dad, 1985
Scott Burnham, 1985

[Post-Chorus]
---------------------
F#m          C#m
   I wanna be   my dad
Bm
  I wanna be my dad
       F#m C#m
In the 80s
   Bm
My oblivious white dad in the mid80s
F#m                C#m
   My dad was an oblivious white guy
Bm
  My dad was happier than I am
F#m                  C#m
If I could be anybody   dead or alive
Bm
I would want to be my dad in 1985
