We Were Cool
VERSE
It breaks my heart to see a dear old friend [A]
Go down that worn out place again . [A]
Do you know the sound of a closing door? [B]
Have you heard that sound somewhere before? [B]
Do you wonder if she knows you anymore? [B]
CHORUS
I wrapped your love around me like a chain, [C]
But I never was afraid that it would die . [D]
You can dance in a hurricane , [C]
But only if you’re standing in the eye . [D]
VERSE
Where did you learn to walk? Where did you learn to run [E]
Away from everything you love? [E]
And did you think the bottle would ever ease your pain? [C]
Did you think that love’s a foolish game? [C]
Did you find someone else to take the blame? [C]
CHORUS
I wrapped your love around me like a chain , [C]
But I never was afraid that it would die . [D]
You can dance in a hurricane , [C]
But only if you’re standing in the eye . [D]
You can dance in a hurricane , [C]
But only if you’re standing in the eye . [D]
VERSE
I am a sturdy soul, and there ain’t no shame [C]
In lying down in the bed you made . [C]
Can you fight the urge to run for another day? [C]
You might make it further if you learn to stay . [C]
CHORUS
I wrapped your love around me like a chain , [C]
But I never was afraid that it would die. [D]
You can dance in a hurricane, [C]
But only if you’re standing in the eye. [D]
You can dance in a hurricane, [C]
But only if you’re standing in the eye . [D]
