"We Were Cool" - Lori McKenna - The Bird and the Rifle - 2016 Transcribed by wranglingoutlaw Capo 4 & key of B Intro - | G | C | G | C ..

His b^Grother had a Chevy Malibu I was sit^Cting in the back seat On some d^Dead end road We weren’t su^Cpposed to know

I r^Gemember thinking He would break My heart I was gr^Ceen as an evergreen But I f^Dell right in Never the s^Came again

D^Guran Duran on the radio The W^Cild Boys and the days of gold I was s^Ditting on His right On His left was a fresh tatt^Coo | C | G | And man, We were cool

His D^Gaddy had a drinking problem My D^Caddy worked way too hard And We were both ^Drunning from - What We swore We’d n^Cever become

Killing t^Gime in a Walgreens parking lot Mapping out dr^Ceams that never came true When freedom’s ^Dall You want Freedom’s really ^Call You got

Smells Like T^Geen Spirit on tape cassette Before We e^Cver heard of the internet Re^Ddemption was a ragtop All We needed was ^Cfuel And man, We were c^Gool

We were gonna ^Emburn this town d^Down...^C We were gonna ^Emrun these streets 'till ^Dthey ran ^Cout

You worked the n^Gight shift Slinging fast food All the F^Crench fries We could stand There was something ^Din His eyes I could never q^Cuite define

Then We’d r^Gace that V6 all night And ^CI was like putty in His hands Memorizing b^Dack roads 'till He had to t^Cake Me home

D^Guran Duran on the radio And t^Chose Wild Boys would never know We had a b^Daby on the way - The year Our friends started s^Cchool But man, We were c^Gool

We were gonna ^Emburn this town ^Ddown..^C. We were gonna ^Emrun these streets 'till ^Dthey ran ^Cout

But then d^Greams fade into the ever blue And t^Cime just slips away from You So You’re s^Dtaring at each other Remembering ^Cwhen We were cool
