You Were Cool (Acordes)

[Intro]

D  A  Em  G  x2



[Verse]

D                        A

This is a song with the same four chords

      Em                               G

I use most of the time when I've got something on my mind

       D                         A

And I don't want to squander the moment

               Em                         G

Trying to come up with a more complicated way 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                              G

It's better to pass on through 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                                   G

Someone's got to say it sometime because it's true.

Em                                    A

People should have told you you 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                                 A                    Em

I hope the painful memories only 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.



[Outro]

D  A  Em  G  x2



*** In the video I transcribed this from, he seems to plays A here. However he

sings to a G chord and I think it sounds better.
