Cool Enough For You chords by Five Iron Frenzy

Chords with lyrics

Hey, guys! I do not do this often, but this is NOT MY TAB. I found this online [since I myself am trying to
learn this awesome song still], but this was too awesome to not post on a well-known website. The original
author did not give an user name or any other contact information, so credit goes to him [it could've been
Sonnie for all I know, haha]. Anyways, enjoy this chord sheet! :D

However, Sonnie plays inverted chords in the song, so here they are [I posted these in]:

Intro2: (traditional ska rhythm)
    C# minorC#m E MajorE BB AbAb
    C# minorC#m A augmentedA AbAb

Verse:
C# minorC#m         E MajorE
What could this be, too much MTV?
BB              AbAb
Chalk another fad up for its fall into infamy.
C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
What's in a standard if it changes all the time?
AbAb
You're still having trouble in defining your own kind.
C# minorC#m        E MajorE
Need I remind you, we all knew you before,
BB                   AbAb
You threw rocks at the stage from your glass house on the floor.
C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
Now you think you're punk, just because it's in.
AbAb
You found a foul mouth and a couple safety pins.


Chorus:
E MajorE       BB    F#F#        A augmentedA    AbAb
Got a peaceful feeling.  I don't want to fight no more.
E MajorE       BB    F#F#           A augmentedA       AbAb
Got a peaceful feeling.  I don't care if we're punk or SKA or hardcore.
E MajorE        BB
Enough for you, sad but true,
F#F#               A augmentedA     AbAb
you can call us names till your face turns blue.
E MajorE               BB
Our assurance comes from God, it's nothing new,
F#F#              A augmentedA     AbAb
we'll never care 'cause we're never cool enough for you.

Intro2

Verse:
That smug look on your face, your nose up in the air,
your patches say you're open-minded but still you couldn't bear,
some punk thrown in with ska. You said it wouldn't work.
Well you can take your Vespa home 'cause ska made you a jerk.
The purist turns a deaf ear. He's such an intellect,
Does he think his censorship is gaining our respect?
The raising of a fist, like the trigger of a gun.
Stop and see we're all alike, and we can dance as one.

Chorus

Bridge: (From here on out use power chords.)
A--4-4---4--------|    (1x)
E----------5-4---5|

A--4-4--4---------|    (15x)
E----------4---5--|

Chorus2:(w/distortion)
BB  F#F#  A augmentedA  E MajorE
BB  F#F#  A augmentedA  E MajorE

BB       F#F#    A augmentedA        E MajorE
Got a peaceful feeling.  I don't want to fight no more.
BB       F#F#    A augmentedA           E MajorE
Got a peaceful feeling.  I don't care if we're punk or ska or hardcore.

Outro:(lalala)
BB  F#F#  A augmentedA  E MajorE    (4x)

End on BB
(not counting the crazy sliding insanity chords at the VERY end)

Also, in case you are new to ska and are not sure how to skank [like I was before I got used to it], use
a muted downstroke and played upstroke strum.

God bless!
