Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
x2
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 more complicated way to say what I want to say
People were mean to you
but I always thought you were cool
clicking down the concrete hallway
with your spiked heels
back in high school.
x2
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 hallway
with your spiked heels
back in high school.
You deserved better than you got
Someone's got to say it sometime because it's true.
People should have told you you were awesome,
Instead of taking advantage of you.
(half beat only for both and )
I hope you love your life
Like I love mine.
I hope the painful memories only flex their power over you
A little of the time.
We held onto the hope of better days coming
And when we did we were right.
I hope the people who did you wrong
Have trouble sleeping every night.
People were mean to you
but I always thought you were cool
clicking down the concrete hallway
with your spiked heels
back in high school.
