Cool John Michael Montgomery
[D] [G] [G] [A]
H[D]e really liked fl[Dsus]annel with bib[Gadd9] overalls
I[D]f you looked in his closet it was a[A]ll that you [A7]saw
H[D]e'd dress up on S[Dsus]unday and thou[Gadd9]ght he looked neat
I[Bm]n a green leisure suit[A] with wing[D/F#]tips on his f[G]eet
[D]I hated the mu[Dsus]sic he played[Gadd9] in the car
I[D]t was hard to believe he called th[A]ose people s[A7]tars
Th[D]ey sang through their n[Dsus]oses like [Gadd9]they all had colds
I [Bm]guess it's hard to be coo[A]l when y[D/F#]our forty years [G]old
(chorus)
I[Bm] was fifteen and real h[G]ip with long hair
I'[D]d ask my mama why's is[A] daddy s[D/F#]o square
I [Bm]could't believe all that h[G]e didn't know
I[Bm] guess it's hard to be cool[A] when your[D/F#] forty years ol[G]d
[D]The night I turned t[Dsus]wenty she came with the[Gadd9] news
[D]Scared half to death and didn't k[A]now what to [A7]do
I[D] told her I'm so[Dsus]rry, but it[Gadd9]'s not too late
T[Bm]here's a doctor I've hear[A]d of that[D/F#] fixes mist[G]akes
I[D] thought he was wo[Dsus]rking and I was [Gadd9]alone
B[D]ut he was standing behind me when I h[A]ung up the p[A7]hone
H[D]e said Son there's[Dsus] a few things you don'[Gadd9]t know about
I[Bm]f you listen real close[A] we can f[D/F#]igure this ou[G]t
(chorus)
C[Bm]ause I was eighteen and as wi[G]ld as they came
W[D]hen one night a young girl told[A] me the same [D/F#]thing
Y[Bm]ou would't be here if she h[G]adn't said no
You see, It's[Bm] hard to be cool[A] when your t[D/F#]wenty years [G]old
T[D]hese days I like fl[Dsus]annel and [Gadd9]old Levi jeans
A[D]nd I look at my young boy who [A]just turned [A7]fifteen
I[D] know what he's th[D/F#]inking but i[Gadd9]t's ok you know
You see, I[Bm]t's hard to be cool[A] when your fifteen years [G]old
[G] [A] [D]
