You Were Cool

D                             A
 This is a song with the same four 
chords
           Em                      
I use most of the time when I've 
     G
got something on my mind
       D                      
And I don't wanna squander the 
       A
moment
                 Em                
Trying to come up with a better way
       G
 to say what I want to say

[Chorus]
D                    A
People were mean to you
Em                             G
but I always thought you were cool
D                           A
clicking down the concrete hallway
            Em
with your spiked heels
         G
back in high school.

[Instrumental]
D  A  Em  G  x2

[Verse]
D                    A
It's good to be young but let's not 
kid ourselves
      Em                           
It's better to pass on through 
   G
those years and come out the other 
side

D                      A
With our hearts still beating
       Em                   G
Having stared down demons; come back
 breathing

[Chorus]
D                    A
People were mean to you
Em                             G
but I always thought you were cool
D                            A
clicking down the concrete hallway
           Em
with your spiked heels
         G
back in high school.

[Verse]
G              A
You deserved better than you got
           D                    
Someone's got to say it sometime 
               G
because it's true.
Em                                
People should have told you you 
    A
were awesome,
            D                    G 
Instead of taking advantage of you.

D           Em        A      (half 
beat only for both Em and A)
I hope you love your life
Em           G
Like I love mine.
D                              
I hope the painful memories only 
   A                    Em
flex their power over you
    G
A little of the time.
D                 A
We held onto the hope of better days
 coming
Em                       G
And when we did we were right.
D                      A
I hope the people who did you wrong
Em                           G
Have trouble sleeping every night.

[Chorus]
D                    A
People were mean to you
Em                             G
but I always thought you were cool
D                            A
clicking down the concrete hallway
           Em
with your spiked heels
         G
back in high school.
