Huey Lewis and the News
Hip To Be Square

C             E     F
I used to be a renegade, 
C             E     F
I used to fool around 
C                   E             F
but I couldn't take the punishment, 
C                 E       F
and had to settle down.

C
Now I'm playing it real straight, 
     E      F    G
and yes I cut my hair 
C                                             E
you might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care 
              F
because I can tell what's going on: 

                                   C      E      F
It's hip to be a square
                                   C      E      F
It's hip to be a square.

C             E     F
I like my bands in business suits, 
C             E     F
I watch them on TV 
C                   E             F
I'm working out most everyday 
C                 E       F
and watching what I eat.
 
C
They tell me that it's good for me, 
     E      F    G
but I don't even care 
C                                E
I know that it's crazy, I know that it's nowhere 
      F
but there is no denying that: 

                                  C      E      F
It's hip to be a square
                                  C      E      F
It's hip to be a square
                                  C      E      F
It's hip to be a square
                                  C      E      F
So hip to be a square. 

C             E     F
It's not too hard to figure out, 
C             E     F
you see it everyday 
C                   E             F
and those that were the farthest out 
C                 E       F
have gone the other way 

C             E     F
You see them on the freeway, 
C             E     F                             
it don't look like a lot of fun 
C                   E             F                       
but don't you try to fight it; 
C                 E       F
"An idea who's time has come."

C                           
Don't tell me that I'm crazy, 
         E      F    G
Don't tell me I'm nowhere 
    F
take it from me: 

                                   C      E      F
It's hip to be a square
                                   C      E      F
It's hip to be a square
                                   C      E      F
It's hip to be a square
                                   C      E      F
So hip to be a square. 

C        E                F
Here, There, and everywhere!
C     E          F               G
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!

C        E                F
Here, There, and everywhere!
C     E          F               G
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!

Here, There, and everywhere!
C     E          F               G
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!

C        E                F
Here, There, and everywhere!
C     E          F               G
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!

C        E                F
Here, There, and everywhere!
C     E          F               G
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!

C        E                F
Here, There, and everywhere!
C     E          F               G
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!
