Vers: Em7 D/F# G A

Bridge 1/chorus: G A Bm7 D

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

Vers 1:

[Em7] Whatever [D/F#]happened to the funky r[G]ace?

A generation l[A]ost in pace,[Em7]

Wasn´t life su[D/F#]pposed to be more than this?[G]

In this kiss I´ll [A]change your bore for my bliss[Em7]

Let go of my hand and it will[D/F#] slip out in the sand if you don´t [G]give me the chance

to break d[A]own the walls of attitude,[Em7]

I ask n[D/F#]othing of you

[G] not even your [A]gratitude

Bridge 1:

And [G]if you think I´m corny

then it [A]will not make me sorry

it´s your [Bm7]right to laugh at me[D]

and in turn, that´s[G] my oppurtunity[A]

to feel brave[Bm7][D]

Because [G]ridicule is no shame [A]

it´s just a[Bm7] way to eclipse hate[D]

it´s just a[G] way to put my back straight[A]

it´s just a[Bm7] way to remain sa[D]ne

Vers 2:

[Em7]Every morning I would see her g[D/F#]etting

off the bus the pic[G]ture never drops

it's like a mu[A]lticoloured snapshot s[Em7]tuck in my brain

it [D/F#]kept me sane for a co[G]uple of years

as it d[A]renched my fears

of be[Em7]coming like the others

who be[D/F#]come unhappy mothers

and f[G]athers of unhappy kids[A]

And why is that?

Bridge 1:

Cause they´ve fo[G]rgotten how to play[A]

maybe they´re [Bm7]afraid to feel ashamed[D]

to seem strange[G]

to seem insane[A]

to gain weight to seem [Bm7]gay

I tell you this [D]

Chorus:

That it takes a f[G]ool to remain sane[A]

It takes a f[Bm7]ool to remain sane[D]

It takes a f[G]ool to remain sane[A]

In this w[Bm7]orld all covered up in shame[D]
