intro : C Fmaj7 Am G

C Fmaj7
in the hearts of men , in the arms of mothers
Am G
in the parts we play to convince others
C Fmaj7
we know what we’re doing , we’re doing it right
Am G
we bring books on the subject , but then you may still be surprised
C Fmaj7
by your tone over the phone , to your sister while waiting in line
Am G
at the shopping mall just outside of town

C
oh – hoo ,
Fmaj7
oh – hoo ,
Am
oh – hoo . . .
G
oooh

[ same chords as the last verse ]
in the hands of teachers , in the books you read
the things you say when we’ve lost the lead
i still try to speak up , when my voice won’t make a sound
and i thought it all over too many times
when there is no use , and the lights are all out
i just give it up , and i walk home
past the shopping mall that’s just closing . . . down

[ play this part 2x ]
C
oh – hoo , laa – da – da – da
Fmaj7
oh – hoo , laa – da – da – da
Am
oh – hoo . . .
G

Am G
we tell yourself you all must be what you be
Am G
we still say who is who and what is what if you simply don’t agree , now
Am G
time will come to claim you , and it will have its way
Am G Am G
don’t make no mistakes and don’t regret
Am G Am G
don’t waste the time that is left
Am G C
and then do it all . . . with a goddamn smile
