It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane

[Verse 1]
Gm7 F Bb
Whatever happened to the funky race?
C
A generation lost in pace
Gm7 F
Wasn’t life supposed to be more than this?
Bb C
In this kiss, I’ll change your bore for my bliss
Gm7
Let go off my hand and it will
F
Slip on the sand if you don’t
Bb
Give me the chance
C Gm7
To break down the walls of attitude

F
I ask nothing of you
Bb C
Not even your gratitude

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
And if you think I’m corny
C
Then it will not make me sorry
Dm F
It’s your right to laugh at me
Bb C
And in turn, that’s my opportunity
Dm F
To feel brave

[Chorus]
Bb C
‘Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Dm F
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Bb C
It takes a fool to remain sane
Dm F
Oh, it takеs a fool to remain sane

[Verse 2]
Gm7 F
Every morning I would see hеr getting off the bus
Bb C
The picture never drops, it’s like a multicolored snapshot
Gm Am
Stuck in my brain, it kept me sane

Bb C
For a couple of years, as it drenched my fears
Gm7
Of becoming like the others
F
Who become unhappy mothers
Bb
And fathers of unhappy kids
C
And why is that?

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm7
‘Cause they’ve forgotten how to play
F Bb C Bb
Or maybe they’re afraid to feel ashamed

[Chorus]

Bb C
‘Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Dm F
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Bb C
It takes a fool to remain sane
Dm F Gm7
Oh, it takеs a fool to remain sane

[Brigde]

F Bb
To seem strange
C Gm7
To seem insane
F Bb
To gain weight, to seem gay
C
I’ll tell you this

[Instrumenstal]

Bb C Dm F Bb C Dm F

[Chorus]
Bb C
‘Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Dm F
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Bb C
It takes a fool to remain sane
Dm F G Bb
Oh, it takеs a fool to remain sane
