School Is Cool – Close chords

[Intro]

F#m  D  A

 

 

[Verse 1]

F#m                    D          A

You know I’m trying to climb that hill,

F#m                         D       A

In ten years, I’ll probably be here still.

F#m                  D      A

Someday I’ll finally get my due,

F#m                         D       A    D  F#m  E  D  E  F#m  D

But my fate, babe, it ain’t tied to you.

 

 

[Verse 2]

F#m                    D        A

I saw you cut him down where he stood,

F#m                 D        A

Somehow I’d always known you would.

F#m                      D      A

Come and find me, on the battlefield,

F#m                D             A

Just say the magic word and I’ll yield.

 

 

[Chorus]

D                    F#m

If I could get that close,

    E                 D   E

I’d know just what to do,

                 F#m

When the whistle blows,

  D                       A

I might as well enjoy the view.

D                        F#m

But I’ll never get that close,

         E                 D    E

Maybe I don’t have what it takes.

                     F#m

I’ll never get that close,

  D             Bm

I falter every time,

           A    D         F#m    D  E

Every time you raise the stakes.

                          F#m    D  E  F#m  D  E

Every time you raise the stakes.

                          F#m    D  E  F#m

Every time you raise the stakes.

 

 

[Verse 3]

F#m              D      A    Asus2

Invite me to the circle dance,

F#m                       D       A    Asus2

If you have me, won’t you take my hand.

F#m               D      A   Asus2

From Monday to my Sunday best,

F#m                      D      A

Strike a deal and put it to the test.

 

 

[Chorus]

D                 F#m

But when I get so close,

      E                         D   E

I can hold it in the palm of my hand,

                 F#m

When the whistle blows,

  D                       A

I guess I’ll finally understand,

D                        F#m

But I’ll never get that close,

         E                 D    E

Maybe I don’t have what it takes.

                     F#m

I’ll never get that close,

  D             Bm

I falter every time,

                A        D

Every time you raise the stakes.

      Bm   A   D          F#m    D  E

Every time you raise the stakes.

                          F#m    D  E  F#m D  E

Every time you raise the stakes.

                          F#m    D  E  F#m D  E

Every time you raise the stakes.

                          F#m    D  E  F#m D  E

Every time you raise the stakes.

 

 

[Outro]

F#m D  E
