C                    F7M 
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
Am                   G 
In the parts we play to convince others
C                       F7M 
We know what we're doing, we're doing it right
Am                                                   G           
May have written books on the subject, but then you may still be surprised
C                                    F7M 
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
F7M 
Oh-hoo
Am 
Oh-hoo
G 
Oooh

C                        F7M 
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read
Am                          G 
The things we say when we've lost the lead
C                                F7M 
I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound
Am                       G      
And I thought it all over too many times
C                              F7M 
When there is no use, and the lights are all out
Am             
I just give it up, and I walk home
            G  
Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down


C 
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
F7M 
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Am 
Oh-hoo
G 
Oooh

Am                            G 
We tell yourself you are must be what you be
Am                                             G 
Who's to 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

C 
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
F7M 
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Am 
Laa-la-la
       G 
Laa-ah-aah

C                    F7M 
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
Am                   G 
In the parts we play to convince others
