Chord You Were Cool by Mountain Goats

intro : D A Em G x2 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 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 . D A Em G x2 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 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 . 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 . 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 .
