You Were Cool Lyrics & Tabs by The Mountain Goats
You Were Cool
guitar chords lyrics
This is a song with the same four chords
I use most of the time
When I've got something on my mind
And i don't want to squander the moment
Trying to come up with a better way
To say what I want to say
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down the concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in high school
It's good to be young, but let's not kid ourselves
It's better to pass on through those years
And come out the other side
With our hearts still beating
It's better to pass on through those years
And come out the other side
With our hearts still beating
Having stared down demons
Come back breathing
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down the concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in high school
You deserved better than you got
Someone's got to say it sometime 'cause it's true
People should have told you you were awesome
Instead of taking advantage of you
I hope you love your life now
Like I love mine
I hope the painful memories only flex their power over you
A little of the time
We held on to hope of better days coming
And when we did, we were right
I hope the people who did you wrong
Have trouble sleeping at night
People were mean to you
But I always thought you were cool
Clicking down the concrete hallways
In your spiked heels
Back in high school
