C            D
I carry the time we don’t talk
      Em     D
in a backpack
C                D
Leave it on the side with the nights you didn’t
Em       D
call me back
C             D
And all the ideas, and the hope
          Em         D
I’d never ask him for
C                 D
I’ll throw them away, it’s okay, without a
Em            D
second thought

        C
God I swore
            D
I wouldn’t play
            Em
The age-old game
                       D
Yeah I watched you all ask all your lovers away
C            D                           Em
Rollin your eyes, to the backs of your heads
             D
Surely you know to close them instead

Chorus:
C
Cool girl
D
Will be different
Em
I’ll be quiet
D
Oh so easy
C
Cool girl
D
Will be different
Em
I'll be quiet
D
Oh so easy

How much of a tongue can
I bite until we notice blood?
Spit to the left, carry on,
just smile and say you're good
You all plead and demand
all your needs, but you can't
He'll be asked till he's bored,
I would know, I've been bored before
Chill out if it's late or every heavy
sigh will seal a fate

God, I swore I wouldn't play the age-old game
Yeah, I watched you all ask all your lovers away
Rollin' your eyes to the backs of your heads
             F
Surely you know to close them instead

Chorus:
Cool girl will be different
I'll be quiet, I'll be easy
Cool girl will be different
I'll be quiet, I'll be easy

(No, I won't be like them)
Cool girl will be different
I'll be quiet, I'll be easy
(Want me more than friend)
Cool girl, I'll be different
I'll be quiet, I'll be easy
(No, I won't be like them)
Cool girl, I'll be different
I'll be quiet, I'll be easy
(I'll be quiet again)
I'll be easy
Oh, so easy
