Its Cool To Be A Fool

C    G7    C    C

[Verse 1]
G7
  Here I sit a nobody with no one
    G7
and being' me ain't really all that fun
G
Leaving' her wasn't very smart
  G                                   G7
Admitting' I was wrong wouldn't be so hard

[Chorus]
          C
If it was cool to be a fool
           C7
I'd be the hippest guy around
     F
If a heartache made you famous
       F7
I'd be known from town to town
   C
If tears were made of pennies
      D7
And a cold beer brought her back
   G                G#
My bank account and self-esteem
      G
Would both be in the black
        C                         E7
If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad
 F                               G#
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had
     Dm7          F    G                        C    C
Hey, I could be a star   if it was cool to be a fool

[Verse 2]
G
  But we all know the way it really is
    G
You don't get recognized for doin' things like this
    G
You spend a lotta time feelin' sorry for yourself
                                    G7
It doesn't really mean that much to anybody else

[Chorus]
          C
If it was cool to be a fool
           C7
I'd be the hippest guy around
     F
If a heartache made you famous
       F7
I'd be known from town to town
   C
If tears were made of pennies
      D7
And a cold beer brought her back
   G                G#
My bank account and self-esteem
      G
Would both be in the black
        C                         E7
If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad
 F                               G#
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had
     Dm7          F    G                        C
Hey, I could be a star   if it was cool to be a fool
