Cool

	  		D     G G    A 
 
 D                Dsus          Gadd9 
He really liked flannel with bib overalls 
 D                                  A           A7 
If you looked in his closet it was all that you saw 
 D                Dsus          Gadd9 
He'd dress up on Sunday and thought he looked neat 
 Bm                    A         D/F#         G 
In a green leisure suit with wingtips on his feet 
 
D             Dsus         Gadd9 
I hated the music he played in the car 
 D                                 A           A7 
It was hard to believe he called those people stars 
  D                      Dsus      Gadd9 
They sang through their noses like they all had colds 
  Bm                       A       D/F#            G 
I guess it's hard to be cool when your forty years old 
 
(chorus) 
 
 Bm                     G 
I was fifteen and real hip with long hair 
  D                     A       D/F# 
I'd ask my mama why's is daddy so square 
  Bm                        G 
I could't believe all that he didn't know 
 Bm                         A         D/F#           G 
I guess it's hard to be cool when your forty years old 
 
D                   Dsus                   Gadd9 
The night I turned twenty she came with the news 
D                                A           A7 
Scared half to death and didn't know what to do 
 D               Dsus       Gadd9 
I told her I'm sorry, but it's not too late 
 Bm                       A        D/F#       G 
There's a doctor I've heard of that fixes mistakes 
 
 D                 Dsus            Gadd9 
I thought he was working and I was alone 
 D                                    A           A7  
But he was standing behind me when I hung up the phone 
 D                 Dsus                  Gadd9 
He said Son there's a few things you don't know about 
 Bm                     A        D/F#         G  
If you listen real close we can figure this out 
 
(chorus) 
 
 Bm                           G         
Cause I was eighteen and as wild as they came 
 D                              A            D/F# 
When one night a young girl told me the same thing 
 Bm                         G 
You would't be here if she hadn't said no 
             Bm              A           D/F#        G   
You see, It's hard to be cool when your twenty years old 
 
 D                  Dsus      Gadd9 
These days I like flannel and old Levi jeans 
 D                             A           A7 
And I look at my young boy who just turned fifteen 
 D                 D/F#        Gadd9 
I know what he's thinking but it's ok you know 
          Bm                 A                        G 
You see, It's hard to be cool when your fifteen years old
