Cool About It
View chords used in this chart
C F7M
Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool
Em G
And make fun of the cowboys with the neck tattoos
C F7M
Ask you easy questions about work and school
Dm
I'm trying to be cool about it
G Am
Feelin' like an absolute fool about it
F7M Dm
Wishin' you were kind enough to be cruel about it
G Am
Tellin' myself I can always do without it
F7M Dm G
Knowing that it probably isn't true
C F7M
I came prepared for absolution if you'd only ask
Em G
So I take some offense when you say: No regrets
C F7M
I remember it's impossible to pass your test
Dm
But I'm trying to forget about it
G Am
Feelin' like I'm breaking a sweat about it
F7M Dm
Wishin' you would kindly get out of my head about it
G Am
Tеllin' myself one day I'll forget about it
F7M Dm G
Knowing that it probably isn't truе
C F7M
Once, I took your medication to know what it's like
Em G
And now, I have to act like I can't read your mind
C F7M
I ask you how you're doing and I let you lie
G Dm
But we don't have to talk about it
G Am
I can walk you home and practice method acting
F7M Dm
I'll pretend bein' with you doesn't feel like drowning
G Am
Tellin' you it's nice to see how good you're doing
F7M Dm G
Even though we know it isn't true
