Whatever happened to the funky race?
Sib                   Do
A generation lost in pace,
Solm7               Lam7
Wasn’t life supposed to be more than this?
Sib                   Do
In this kiss I’ll change your bore for my bliss
       Solm7                           Lam7
Let go of my hand and it will slip out in the sand 
Sib                               Do
if you don´t give me the chance to break down the walls of attituded
Solm7           Lam7
I ask nothing of you 
Sib                   Do
not even your gratitude
    Sib                                                   Do
And if you think I’m corny, then it will not make me sorry
Rem                             Fa
it’s your right to laugh at me 
          Sib                   Do
and in turn, that’s  my  opportunity
Rem    Fa
to feel brave 
              Sib      
Because it takes a fool to remain sane 
Do              Rem            Fa
Oh It takes a fool to remain sane
Sib                  
Oh It takes a fool to remain sane
Do           Rem               Fa
Oh let me a small ridicule in shame.

Solm7                                      Lam7
Every morning I would see her getting off the bus the 
Sib                                           Do
picture never drops it’s like a multicoloured snapshot 
Solm7                  Lam7
stuck in my brain it kept me sane 
    Sib                           Do
for a  couple of years as it drenched my fears
    Solm7                                 Lam7
of becoming like the others who become unhappy mothers
  Sib                             Do
and fathers of unhappy kids, and why is that?
  ib                               Do
´Cause they’ve forgotten how to play 
              Rem                 Fa
oh maybe they’re afraid to feel ashamed
    Sib                   Do
to seem strange to seem insane 
                   Rem
to gain weight, to seem gay 
Fa

  Solm7                                    Lam7
So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket 
            Sib                   Do
