Intro
G5 C5 G5 C5


G5       C5          G5      C5
I see smiles and tangled hair
G5                   C5             G5                C5
And finger-painted window sills
G5                   C5             E5               
Clouds the world they say is real
A5                  
I've tried to see their way


G5               C5                 G5                C5
But now I found that up is down
G5               C5                 G5                C5
Circles don't lead back around
G5               C5                 E5
Something lost is always found
A5                               A5
It may not look the same
C5                                               C5 *
But some things have to change


G5           B5            C5               C5                   G5
Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny
      B5                     C5               C5
I'd rather be a fool than foolish
G5             B5                     C5              C5                     G5
If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look
B5                                C5
While people ran the other way
C5                           C5                   C5 *
Afraid to play the fool


G5 C5 G5 C5
           Afraid to play
G5 C5 G5 C5
the fool


G5         C5                  G5            C5
Open windows and sandy floors
G5         C5                  G5            C5
Scattered tables and paper wars
G5         C5                E5  
May at first look like such a bore
A5                                A5
But really who's to say
C5                           C5 *
What is really real


G5           B5            C5               C5                   G5
Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny
      B5                     C5               C5
I'd rather be a fool than foolish
G5             B5                     C5              C5                     G5
If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look
B5                                C5
While people ran the other way
C5                             A5                  
Afraid to play the fool

E5                            A5
Afraid to play the fool
E5                            C5
Afraid to put their hands in the air and say
C5 * (hold)
"Damn it ! I don't care"


G5           B5            C5               C5                   G5
Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny
      B5                     C5               C5
I'd rather be a fool than foolish
G5             B5                     C5              C5                     G5
If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look
B5                                C5
While people ran the other way
C5
Afraid to play


G5           B5            C5               C5                   G5
Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny
      B5                     C5               C5
I'd rather be a fool than foolish
G5             B5                     C5              C5                     G5
If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look
B5                                C5
While people ran the other way
C5                           C5                   C5 *
Afraid to play the fool

G5 C5 G5 C5
            Afraid to play
G5 C5 G5 C5
The fool
