INTRO 
| E E/G# | A | E E/G# | A |
| E E/G# | A | E E/G# | A A/B |


VERSE
  E       E/G# A        E          E/G#    A
I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
E               E/G#     A               E      E/G#    A
 But I couldn't take the punishment, and had to settle down
A                   G                  A     A/B    E
 Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair
    F#m                        E/G#
You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care
      Asus4                       Bsus4 [break]
Cause I can tell what's going on


CHORUS
[N.C.]         | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A A/B |
It’s hip to be square


VERSE
  E       E/G#     A              E             E/G#   A
I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on  TV
    E        E/G#    A        E             E/G#      A
I'm working out most every day and watching what I eat
A                       G                A       A/B  E
 They tell me that it's good for me, but I don't even care
  F#m                     E/G#
I know that it's crazy, I know that it's nowhere
    Asus4                     Bsus4 [break]
But there is no denying that


CHORUS
[N.C.]         | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A A/B |
So hip to be square


SOLO
| E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
| E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
| E | Esus4 | E | Esus4 |
| E | Esus4 | E | A A/B |

| E E/G# | A | E E/G# | A |
| E E/G# | A | E E/G# | A A/B |



     E       E/G#    A          E           E/G#     A
It's not too hard to figure out, you see it every day
    E          E/G#     A           E              E/G#     A
And those that were the farthest out have gone the other way
A                    G           A                 A/B    E
 You see them on the freeway, it don't look like a lot of fun
    A                G             A          A/B     | E | % |
But don't you try to fight it; "An idea whose time has come."
      F#m                           E/G#
Don't tell me that I'm crazy, don’t tell me I'm nowhere
Asus4            Bsus4 [break]
Take it from me


CHORUS
[N.C.]         | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A |
It's hip to be square
               | E E/G# | A A/B |
So hip to be square


CODA
E     E/G#       A     
Here, there, and everywhere!

Hip, hip, so hip to be square!
