Am      F
[Verse 1]
AmLaying face first in an old box fan
FTalking like Darth Vader
AmNintendo, Tecmo Bowl
FBeau Jackson, Oakland Raiders
AmMichael Jackson with a glove on my hand
FMoonwalking like Billy Jean
AmNo, I wasn't tryna change the world
FAll I ever really wanted to be was
[Chorus]
CooCl, cGool
Yeah, we all wanna be cAmool, cFool
FYeah, we all wanna be
CLost a little love, broke a few hearts
GLost a few nights shutting down bars
AmLost a good fake ID or two
FWe never lost our cool
CLost friends and we lost touch
GGot a little older, but we never grew up
AmThere's a reason new school wants to be old scFhool
We never lost our Ccool, cGool
We never lost our coAmol, cFool

[Post-Chorus]
AmYeah, so cool

AmGood old boys and a hip-hop bass
F808s and a hoopty hoopte 
AmCan't sever them southern roots
FWay down yonder on the CChattahoochie

AmPlaying every song 'til your finFgers bleed
AmDoing everything just tFryna be
