Intro: Em7, D/F#, G, A

Vers 1:

Em7           D/F#                   G
     Whatever happened to the funky race?
 
              A               Em7
A generation lost in pace,

               D/F#                          G
Wasn?t life supposed to be more than this?

                   A                              Em7
In this kiss I?ll change your bore for my bliss
 
                             D/F#                                G
Let go of my hand and it will slip out in the sand if you don?t give me the  chance

          A                            Em7
to break down the walls of attitude,

       D/F# 
I ask nothing of you

G              A 
 not even your gratitude 


Bridge 1:

    G
And if you think I?m corny
 
        A
then it will not make me sorry
 
           Bm7                   D
it?s your right to laugh at me

                    G                A
and in turn, that?s my oppurtunity

                 Bm7     D
to feel brave

        G                       A 
Because ridicule is no shame 

            Bm7                  D
it?s just a way to eclipse hate

            G                             A 
it?s just a way to put my back straight

            Bm7              D 
it?s just a way to remain sane 


Vers 2:

Em7                            D/F#
Every morning I would see her getting

                   G
off the bus the picture never drops

              A                     Em7
it's like a multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain

   D/F#                 G
it kept me sane for a couple of years

       A
as it drenched my fears

     Em7
of becoming like the others

      D/F#
who become unhappy mothers

     G                      A
and fathers of unhappy kids

And why is that?
 

Bridge 1:

                 G                   A
Cause they?ve forgotten how to play

               Bm7                    D 
maybe they?re afraid to feel ashamed

                  G 
to seem strange

                 A 
to seem insane

                       Bm7
to gain weight to seem gay

                  D 
I tell you this 


Chorus:

                 G                  A
That it takes a fool to remain sane

            Bm7               D 
It takes a fool to remain sane

            G                  A 
It takes a fool to remain sane

         Bm7                         D
In this world all covered up in shame

                         G  A  E  Dadd9 x2 
(-Oh, take it to the stage!)
