YOU WERE COOL

This is a song with the same four chords
I use most of the time
When I 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 wanna 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
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 deserve better than you got
Someone's gotta say it sometime, 'cus 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 with hope, to 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
