Lori McKenna – We Were Cool (Guitar)

     G
His brother had a Chevy Malibu

         C
I was sitting in the back seat

         D
On some dead end road

             C
We weren’t supposed to know

   G
I remember thinking He would break My heart

        C
I was green as an evergreen

       D
But I fell right in

           C
Never the same again

 G
Duran Duran on the radio

     C
The Wild Boys and the days of gold

       D
I was sitting on His right

                            C
On His left was a fresh tattoo

                  | C | G |
And man,  We were cool

     G
His Daddy had a drinking problem

    C
My Daddy worked way too hard

                 D
And We were both running from -

                    C
What We swore We’d never become

         G
Killing time in a Walgreens parking lot

              C
Mapping out dreams that never came true

               D
When freedom’s all You want

                 C
Freedom’s really all You got

             G
Smells Like Teen Spirit on tape cassette

           C
Before We ever heard of the internet

  D
Redemption was a ragtop

                  C
All We needed was fuel

                  G
And man, We were cool

              Em              D     C
We were gonna burn this town down...

              Em                      D        C
We were gonna run these streets 'till they ran out

                G
You worked the night shift Slinging fast food

         C
All the French fries We could stand

                    D
There was something in His eyes

               C
I could never quite define

           G
Then We’d race that V6 all night

    C
And I was like putty in His hands

            D
Memorizing back roads

                 C
'till He had to take Me home

 G
Duran Duran on the radio

     C
And those Wild Boys would never know

          D
We had a baby on the way -

                              C
The year Our friends started school

                   G
But man,  We were cool

              Em             D     C
We were gonna burn this town down...

              Em                      D        C
We were gonna run these streets 'till they ran out

          G
But then dreams fade into the ever blue

     C
And time just slips away from You

           D
So You’re staring at each other

            C
Remembering when  We were cool
