               Em                                      C2       G G
She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style
              Em                      C2                    G G
And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind
  Em                      C2                 G  G
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
  Em                        C2                     G    G
Yeah they're invincible and she's just in the background

And she says


[Chorus]

Em                C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                          D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Em                  C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G               D
Like the cool kids

      Em                            C2                          G G
He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue
      Em                       C2                                 G  G
Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through
  Em                       C2                                 G G
They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going
 Em             C2                     G    G
In the fast lane, living life without knowing

And he says,


[Chorus]

Em                C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                       D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Em                                 C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G               D
Like the cool kids
Em                C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                       D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it
Em                  C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G               D
Like the cool kids


[Ending]

Em                C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                       D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Em                                 C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G               D
Like the cool kids
Em                C2
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G                       D
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Em                                 C2
