               Fm                        C#
She sees them walking in a straight line,
                      G#
that's not really her style
             Fm                    C#
And they all got the same heartbeat,
                      G#
but hers is falling behind

Nothing in this world could
ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible,
and she's just in the background
And she says

Chorus:
Fm                 C#maj7
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G#                         D#
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
Fm                   C#maj7
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
G#                D#
Like the cool kids

He sees them talking with a big smile,
but they haven't got a clue
Yeah, they're living the good life,
can't see what he is going through
They're driving fast cars,
but they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says

Chorus:
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

And they said

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids
