 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
