77777x 7799xx 7777xx 7799xx 7777xx
If there's one rule to this game everybody's gonna name, it's
0022xx 000000 0022xx 0000xx
Be cool
5577xx 5555xx 5577xx 5555xx
If you're worried or uncertain, if your feelings are hurtin'

You're a fool if you can't keep cool

Charm 'em, don't alarm 'em, keep things light
2244xx 2222xx 2244xx 2222xx
Keep your worries out of sight
555555 5577xx 5555xx 5577xx 5555xx
And play it cool, play it cool, fifty-fifty fire and ice

Verse 2:
--------
(Same chords as verse 1)
If your heart is on the floor
Cause you've just seen your lover
Comin' through the door with a new fool--
Be cool
Don't get riled
Smile-keep it light
Be your own best friend tonight
And play it cool
Play it cool
Fifty-fifty
Fire and ice

Keep your cool
555555 5577xx 5555xx 7777xx 7799xx 7777xx
Don't whine, kiss off that flaky valentine
99BBxx 9999xx 99BB99
You're nobody's fool

Verse 3:
--------
So if there's one rule to this game
Everybody's gonna name
It's--be cool
If you're worried or uncertain
If your feelings are hurtin'
You're a fool if you can't keep cool
They want you to
Charm 'em
Don't alarm 'em
Keep things light
Keep your worries out of sight
And play it cool
Play it cool
Fifty-fifty
Fire and ice
(Repeat intro riff)
