1st traste
[Verse 1]
Em C G
Leather jacket and jeans and a gentle smile
Em C
Breaking onto the scene, sure it takes a while
G Em
But you're born for it baby, yeah it's in your bones
C G
Used to tell you each night through the telephone
[Verse 2]
Em C G
Make my way through the crowd to the barricade
Em C
Staring up at your stance, feel the whole room fade away
G
And suddenly I'm twenty two
Em
And all I care to think and talk about is you
C D
I want to make you notice and focus on me
[Chorus]
Em C
Who cares if you've been living alone
And grown comfortable?
G D
I'm the exception to the rule
Em
'Cause we'd look so good together
C G
They'd all know that I'd won over the cool boy
[Verse 3]
Em C G
When you're taking me home, it all comes rushing back
Em C
Relishing the same books, films and deep cut tracks
G
Feeling as though the way we gravitate
Em C
Towards each other aggravates women in your orbit
D
Wish they had a taste of your focus on me
[Chorus]
Em C
Who cares this love's a perilous zone?
G D
If you're vulnerable then I'm the exception to the rule
Em
'Cause we'd look so good together
C G
They'd all know I had a hold on the cool boy
[Bridge]
Em
Thought I'd get out unscathed
D
My integrity saved
C
Not succumb to my rage
I should've known it
G
Cool boy's gonna blow it either way
Em
When you think of me now
D
When you say my name out loud
Does it sound like your regrets?
C
Your missed chances or questions unanswered?
D Em C
[Chorus]
D Em
Thought we'd look so good together
C D
Why'd you make me play the role of the fool? (oh)
Em C
Now they all know that I got over the cool boy
