Dar Williams - "As Cool As I Am" (official video) chords
Start Jamming...
[Bm] [Em]
But yeah, there was a [Em] time I didn't like the love I like the climbers was no sister them [E] running out of time and [Em] one
[Am]
Miners [Em] and I was afraid like you are when [Am] you're too young to know the [Em] time
And so I watched the way you take a fear and hoard the horizon you point you have a word
Everyone on you can lay your [Am] eyes on
[G] Like you own them just because you [Em] bought the time
[E] And you turn to me you say you hope I'm not threatened
Whoa, [C] I'm not [G] that petty
As cool [C] as I am.
I thought you'd know [Em] this already.
I will not be
afraid of women I will not be
afraid of women
[Am] [C]
[A] [Em]
So now we're at a club [Am] watch the one dancing.
She is drunk [Em] and she is smiling and she's falling in that slow
[E] Descending [Am]
funk [Em] and the whole bar is loud and proud.
Everybody's trying
Yeah, you play the artist saying is it how she moves or how she looks I say it's [Am] loneliness
Suspended [E] to our own like grappling hooks [G] and as long as she's got noise, [Em] she's fine
[F] But I could teach her how I learned to dance when the [E] music's ended [C] Whoa?
That's [G] not petty as cool [C] as I am [Em] I thought you'd know [Am] this already I will [C] not [Em] be
Afraid of [E] women I will [Em] not be afraid of women
[C] Try to [Em] make me doubt [Am] the make me [E] guess try to make [Em] me feel like a little
Less so I [G] like you [Am] when
So was there I [C] thought you knew [Am] how to be scared [G] and now it's amazing what you did
[Em] You make me stay [E] but truth is just like [F]
time it catches up and it just keeps going
[C] Whoa?
[Em] So I'm leaving [Am] you can find out how much better [C] things can get [Em] and if it helps
That's a feel [F] a little worse than I did [Am] when we met
[Em] So when you find someone else you try again my work next time
You look out of the kitchen window and you shake your head and say though if I could believe that stuff
I'd say that woman has [Am] a halo
[G] And I look at and say yeah, [Em] she's really blonde
[E] And then I go outside to join the others.
I am the others
[C] Whoa, and that's [G] not easy
Don't [Am] know what you saw.
I want [E] somebody who sees me.
I will [G] not be
[Am] Afraid of women I [Em] will not be
afraid of women
[Em]
[A] [Am] [C]
[N]
