You Were Cool chords

Intro: [D] [A] [Em] [G] x2

[D]This is a song with the s[A]ame four chords
I use [Em]most of the time when I've got so[G]mething on my mind
And I d[D]on't want to squander the [A]moment
Trying to come [Em]up with a more complicated [G]way to say what I want to say

[D]People were mean to y[A]ou
[Em]but I always thought you were c[G]ool
[D]clicking down the concrete h[A]allway
with your sp[Em]iked heels
back in h[G]igh school.

[D] [A] [Em] [G] x2

[D]It's good to be young[A] but let's not kid ourselves
It's b[Em]etter to pass on through those y[G]ears and come out the other side
[D]With our hearts still b[A]eating
Having [Em]stared down demons; c[G]ome back breathing

[D]People were mean to y[A]ou
[Em]but I always thought you were c[G]ool
[D]clicking down the concrete ha[A]llway
with your s[Em]piked heels
back in h[G]igh school.

[G]You deserved be[A]tter than you got
Someone's g[D]ot to say it sometime because it's t[G]rue.
[Em]People should have told you you were a[A]wesome,
[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]Like I love m[G]ine.
[D]I hope the painful memories only f[A]lex their power over [Em]you
A li[G]ttle of the time.
[D]We held onto the h[A]ope of better days coming
[Em]And when we did we were r[G]ight.
[D]I hope the people who d[A]id you wrong
[Em]Have trouble sleeping every n[G]ight.

[D]People were mean to y[A]ou
[Em]but I always thought you were c[G]ool
[D]clicking down the concrete ha[A]llway
with your s[Em]piked heels
back in h[G]igh 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.
