This is my first tab and its pretty damn accurate.
Those who say it should be Dm instead of D aren't wrong.
Personally, I just think Acoustically, it sounds better with D, but, to each their own!
Here's how I play it.

Chorus
Eb D
If I could write you a song,
Gm
To make you fall in love,
Eb D Gm
I would already have you up under my arm.
Eb D
I used up all my tricks,
Gm
I hope that you like this.
Eb F
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me.
Eb D
You got designer shades,
Gm
Just to hide your face and
Eb D
You wear them around like,
Gm
You're cooler than me.
Eb D
But, you never say hey,
Gm
Or remember my name, and
Eb F
It's probably cause, you think you're cooler than me.

I got you,
