Sol-7 Fa/La Sib Do

Sol-7      Fa/La                 Sib                Do
  Whatever happened to the funky race? A generation lost in pace,
Sol-7           Fa/La                       
  Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
Sib                 Do 
  In this kiss I'll change your bore for my bliss
Sol-7                             Fa/La
  But let go of my hand and it will slip out in the sand if you
  Sib                               Do
  don't give me the chance to break down the walls of attitude,
Sol-7      Fa/La     Sib             Do
  I ask nothing of you not even your gratitude

      Sib                            Do
  And if you think I'm corny then it will not make me sorry
            Re-
  it's your right to laugh at me
Fa                    Sib           Do         Re-  Fa
  and in turn, that's my opportunity to feel brave

                  Sib                  Do
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
               Re-                 Fa
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
               Sib                  Do
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
            Re-                            Fa
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame

Sol-7                         Fa/La                   Sib           
Every morning I would see her getting off the bus the picture never drops
            Do
it's like a multicoloured snapshot
Sol-7                Fa/La              Sib
stuck in my brain it kept me sane for a couple of years
      Do                     Sol-7
as it drenched my fears of becoming like the others
    Fa/La                      Sib                Do
who become unhappy mothers and fathers of unhappy kids

And why is that?

               Sib                      
  'Cause they've forgotten how to play
Do               Re-
  maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
Fa
  to seem strange
Sib
  to seem insane
Do
  to gain weight
          Re-
  to seem gay
                   Fa
  I tell you this:


               Sib                  Do
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
               Re-                  Fa
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
               Sib                  Do
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
            Re-                            Fa
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame

Oh, take it to the stage!
