INTRO[C(add9)] Here I sit a nobody with no-one,
Bein’ me ain’t really all that fun.
Leavin’ her wasn’t very smart,
Admittin’ I was wrong wouldn’t be so hard.
If it was cool to be a fool,
I’d be the hippest guy around.
If a heartache made you famous,
I’d be known from town to town.
If tears were made of pennies,
And a cold beer brought her back.
My bank account and self esteem,
Would both be in the black.
If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad,
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had…
Hey, I could [Dm7(add9)]be a star,
If it was cool to be a [C(add9)]fool.
But we all know the way it really is,
You don’t get recognized for doin’ things like this.
You spend a lotta time feelin’ sorry for yourself,
It doesn’t really mean that much to anybody else.
If it was cool to be a fool,
I’d be the hippest guy around.
If a heartache made you famous,
I’d be known from town to town.
If tears were made of pennies,
And a cold beer brought her back.
My bank account and self esteem,
Would both be in the black.
If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad,
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had…
Hey, I could [Dm7(add9)]be a star,
If it was cool to be a fool.
