Cool Kids

Intro 
Em F Em Em 
Em F Em Em 


 
Em          F              Em 
  You will find me in the dark 
          Em               F        Em 
I won't speak unless I'm spoken to 
Em           F                 Em 
  I used to make this shit so hard 
          Em                     F               Em 
But I've learned you'll love me more the less I do 
 

 
           Em F            Em 
Ain't it true? Ain't it true? 
             Em            F       Em 
But what my heart desires most is you 
           Em F Em 
Ain't it true? Mmm 
            Em               F            Em 
So when I feel you getting close, I run straight to my room 
 

 
       C      D    Bm          Em 
'Cause I was never one of the cool kids 
    C D      Bm       Em    C  D 
I tried and that was my mistake 
           Bm            Em            C  D 
I've given up trying to get back that time 
    Bm       Em      C   D 
And all the fucks I gave 
                Bm   E 
And isn't it strange? 
          C              D              Bm  Em 
You only like me when I turn my back on you 
            C    D             Bm     E 
Isn't it strange? Now I know the game 
         C                  D             Bm  Em 
Playing hard to get is the way to get to you 
 

 
Em        F             Em 
  If I'm pushing you away 
       Em            F          Em 
I'm inviting you to reach for me 
Em            E                Em 
  You're the hunter, I'm the prey 
       Em                F      Em 
And avoiding you is my strategy 
 

 
           Em E           Em 
Ain't it true? Ain't it true? 
            Em                E        Em 
The less I seem to care, the more you do 
           Em E  Em 
Ain't it true? Mmm 
        Em               F          Em 
I sit alone and hide my face like I did back in school 
 

 
       C       D   Bm          Em 
'Cause I was never one of the cool kids 
    C  D      Bm      Em    C  D 
I tried and that was my mistake 
          Bm            E             C  D 
I'd given up trying to get back that time 
    Bm       Em      C  D 
And all the fucks I gave 
                Bm   E 
And isn't it strange? 
          C              D              Bm  Em 
You only like me when I turn my back on you 
           C    D                Bm   E 
Isn't it strange? Now I know the game 
          C                  D           Bm  Em 
Playing hard to get is the way to get to you 
 

 
C          D               Bm E 
 Wearing black most every day 
       C              D        Bm Em 
To reflect this emptiness in me 
C             D             Bm    E 
 The shadows dance across my face 
             C           D        Bm Em 
'Cause it's better if I go unseen 
 

Outro 
   C      D      Bm 
I run, I run, I run 
   C      D      Em 
I run, I run, I run away
