Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
              Em                        C                       G
She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style
    D        Em                    C                       G     D
And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind
Em                         C                G     D
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down, hmm
Em                      C                           G
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background
N.C.
And she says
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                         D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G              D
 Like the cool kids

[Verse 2]
             Em                      C                        G
He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue (Ha, ha)
      Em                          C                           G
Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through
Em                         C                                   G      D
  They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going, hmm
Em                      C                     G
They're in the fast lane, living life without knowing
N.C.
And he says
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                         D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G              D
 Like the cool kids
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                         D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get in
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G              D
 Like the cool kids

[Bridge]
Em                         C
  I thought I wanted to be cool like someone else
G                         D
 But ten years later, I'm just a picture on the shelf
Em              C
  Memories in a haze, but I keep looking back
G                D
 I keep seeing myself 'cause the ceiling's glass
      D
After all this time, no, I can't lie
      D
I was just another person that was dreamin'
N.C.
And they said
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
N.C.
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G              D
 Like the cool kids
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                         D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get in
Em                    C
  I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G              D
 Like the cool kids
 
 
[Outro]
Em   C
  Oh-oh
G   D
 Oh-oh
Em   C
  Oh-oh
G              D  
 Like the cool kids
              She sees them walking in a straight line
That's not really her style
They all got the same heart beat
But hers is falling behind
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
Yeah they're invincible and she's just in the background
And she says

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

He sees them talking with a big smile
But they haven't got a clue
Yeah they're living the good life
Can't see what he is going through
They're driving fast cars but they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

I thought I wanted to be cool
Like somebody else
But 10 years later
I'm just a picture on the shelf
Memories in a haze
But I keep looking back
I keep seeing myself
Cause the ceiling's glass
After all this time
No I can't lie
I was just another person that was screaming
When they said

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
