Verse 1
            E
When I was 16 I started this band
                                            A
I played fast guitar, I'd tap with both my hands
                              C#m
We called ourselves the 'The Cools'
                  B                           E
It wasn't a good name but neither was our band
                       E
And I wrote songs for Jen, Jen was my girlfriend
                                               A
She said my songs were fun, I asked her a question, 
                             C#m
'Will you come to our first show?, 
                    B                      E
The Cools go on at 10, right after Grand: pm'

                   Amaj7                      E                          C#m
She said that she would, she would if not for one, one thing she'd never done
                               A
She'd never seen her favorite band
                       Amaj7                      C#m
By chance they were in town the same night as The Cools
                            A                 N.C.            E
I said "Don't you like us, Jen?", she said "Yes, but I love them"

                     E
So I cut class that day and I did something low
                                           A
I took Jen's locker key up to the second floor
                          C#m                              B
I tore her tickets up and lied and I hugged her when she cried
     N.C.                E
And she came to our show

Chorus
              E                    A
We were the greatest band that had ever lived
           E                A
We made a sacred fan out of every kid
             C#m             G#m A       G#m    A          E
We had this flag above our drum kit and it, it read: 'The Cools'

           C#m               B7                     E
Oh no oh no, this can't be so, we're in 'The Cools'

Verse 2
                E
Friday at the show Mugshot played "The Brews"
                                                A
Grand: pm was good but their singer didn't move
                   C#m                  B                         E
And then this lady said into the microphone "Please welcome The Cools!"

                          Amaj7
I said "Jen what did you think?" 
                       E                            C#m
She said that it was good except one thing I hadn't done
                       A
I didn't dedicate her song
                     Amaj7                            C#m
Well I said "Come on Jen! It was the best show in the world"
                    A                                 E
She said "3 out of 10" and she went home with Grand: pm

Chorus
              E                    A
We were the greatest band that had ever lived
           E                A
We made a sacred fan out of every kid
             C#m             G#m A       G#m    A          E
We had this flag above our drum kit and it, it read: 'The Cools'

             C#m             G#m A       G#m    A          E
We had this flag above our drum kit and it, it read: 'The Cools'
           C#m               B7                    A     E
Oh no oh no, this can't be so, we're in 'The Cools'
