[Intro]
D A Em G x2
[Verse]
DThis is a song with the sAame four chords
I use Emmost of the time when I've got soGmething on my mind
And I dDon't want to squander the Amoment
Trying to come Emup with a better way to sayG what I want to say
[Chorus]
DPeople were mean to yAou
Embut I always thought you were cGool
Dclicking down the concrete hAallway
with your spEmiked heels
back in hGigh school.
[Instrumental]
D A Em G x2
[Verse]
DIt's good to be youngA but let's not kid ourselves
It's bEmetter to pass on through those yGears and come out the other side
DWith our hearts still bAeating
Having Emstared down demons; cGome back breathing
[Chorus]
DPeople were mean to yAou
Embut I always thought you were cGool
Dclicking down the concrete haAllway
with your sEmpiked heels
back in hGigh school.
[Verse]
GYou deserved beAtter than you got
Someone's gDot to say it sometime because it's tGrue.
EmPeople should have told you you were aAwesome,
Instead of tDaking advantage of yoAu.
DI hope you love yoAur life
EmLike I love mGine.
DI hope the painful memories only fAlex their power over Emyou
A liGttle of the time.
DWe held onto the hAope of better days coming
EmAnd when we did we were rGight.
DI hope the people who dAid you wrong
EmHave trouble sleeping at nighGt.
[Chorus]
DPeople were mean to yAou
Embut I always thought you were cGool
Dclicking down the concrete haAllway
with your sEmpiked heels
back in hGigh school.
[Outro]
