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
