You Were Cool
These are the
Same four chords I play most of the time
When there's something on my mind
And I don't want to squander the moment
Having more complicated ways to
Say what I wanna say
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down those concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in highschool
It's good to be young
Let's not kid ourselves
It's better to pass through those years,
come out on the other side
With our hearts still beating
Having conquered our demons
And come back breathing
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down those concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in highschool
You deserved better than you got
Somebody's gotta tell you sometime
Cause it's true
People then should have told you you were awesome
Instead of taking advantage of you
I hope you love your life now
Like I love mine
Hope those painful memories
Only lacks their power over you
A little of the time
We held on to the
Hopes of better days coming
When they did we were right
Hope those people who did you wrong
Have trouble sleeping every night
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down those concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in highschool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Same four chords I play most of the time
When there's something on my mind
And I don't want to squander the moment
Having more complicated ways to
Say what I wanna say
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down those concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in highschool
It's good to be young
Let's not kid ourselves
It's better to pass through those years,
come out on the other side
With our hearts still beating
Having conquered our demons
And come back breathing
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down those concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in highschool
You deserved better than you got
Somebody's gotta tell you sometime
Cause it's true
People then should have told you you were awesome
Instead of taking advantage of you
I hope you love your life now
Like I love mine
Hope those painful memories
Only lacks their power over you
A little of the time
We held on to the
Hopes of better days coming
When they did we were right
Hope those people who did you wrong
Have trouble sleeping every night
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down those concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in highschool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
