Verse 1 E When I was 16 I started this band A I played fast guitar, I'd tap with both my hands C#m We called ourselves the 'The Cools' B E It wasn't a good name but neither was our band E And I wrote songs for Jen, Jen was my girlfriend A She said my songs were fun, I asked her a question, C#m 'Will you come to our first show?, B E The Cools go on at 10, right after Grand: pm' Amaj7 E C#m She said that she would, she would if not for one, one thing she'd never done A She'd never seen her favorite band Amaj7 C#m By chance they were in town the same night as The Cools A N.C. E I said "Don't you like us, Jen?", she said "Yes, but I love them" E So I cut class that day and I did something low A I took Jen's locker key up to the second floor C#m B I tore her tickets up and lied and I hugged her when she cried N.C. E And she came to our show Chorus E A We were the greatest band that had ever lived E A We made a sacred fan out of every kid C#m G#m A G#m A E We had this flag above our drum kit and it, it read: 'The Cools' C#m B7 E Oh no oh no, this can't be so, we're in 'The Cools' Verse 2 E Friday at the show Mugshot played "The Brews" A Grand: pm was good but their singer didn't move C#m B E And then this lady said into the microphone "Please welcome The Cools!" Amaj7 I said "Jen what did you think?" E C#m She said that it was good except one thing I hadn't done A I didn't dedicate her song Amaj7 C#m Well I said "Come on Jen! It was the best show in the world" A E She said "3 out of 10" and she went home with Grand: pm Chorus E A We were the greatest band that had ever lived E A We made a sacred fan out of every kid C#m G#m A G#m A E We had this flag above our drum kit and it, it read: 'The Cools' C#m G#m A G#m A E We had this flag above our drum kit and it, it read: 'The Cools' C#m B7 A E Oh no oh no, this can't be so, we're in 'The Cools'
