Chords for Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen (with lyrics)

_ _ Ladies and gentlemen _ of the class of 97, _ _ _ _ _ where _ _ _ _ _ sunscreen? _ _ _ _
_ _ If I could offer you
only one tip for the future, _ _ _ sunscreen would be it. _
_ _ _ The long-term benefits of
sunscreen have been proved by scientists, _ _ whereas the rest of my advice has no
basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. _
_ _ _ I will dispense
this advice _ now. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Never mind, _ you will
not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
_ _ But trust
me, _ in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't
grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really
_ are not as fat as you imagine. _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ Don't worry about the future [Gb] _ [Eb] or worry, but know that
worrying [G] is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubble gum.
_ _ [Fm] _ The real troubles in your life are [Eb] apt to be things that never
crossed your worried [Bbm] mind, a time that _ blindsides you [Eb] at 4 p.m. on some idle
Tuesday.
_ [Bbm] Do one thing every day [Cm] that scares you. _
_ Sing.
[Db] _ Don't be reckless with other
people's [Eb] hearts.
Don't put up with people who are [Fm] reckless with yours. _ _
_ Floss.
[Eb] _ _ Don't
waste your time on jealousy.
[Db] _ Sometimes you're ahead, _ _ sometimes [Eb] you're behind. _ _
_ [Ab] The
race is long, and in the end, it's only [Eb] with yourself. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ Remember [Db]
compliments you
receive.
[Eb] _ _ Forget the insults.
_ If [Ab] you succeed in doing [Fm] this, tell me how.
_ Keep your old
[C] love letters.
Throw away [Bbm] your old bank statements.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Stretch.
_ Don't feel guilty if you don't [Cm] know
what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people [Db] I know didn't know at 22
what they wanted to [F] do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting [Ab] 40-year-olds I know
[Ab] still don't.
_ [Eb] _ They're at plenty of calcium.
_ [F] _ _ Be kind to your needs.
_ [Eb] You'll miss them when they're gone.
_ _ _ [Fm] Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.
_ [Eb] Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't.
_ [Db] Maybe you'll divorce at 40.
_ Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken [Ab] on your 75th wedding anniversary.
_ Whatever you do, don't [Eb] congratulate yourself too much, or berate [Db] yourself either.
Your choices are half chance.
[Eb] _ _ So are everybody else.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ Enjoy your body.
_ [Cm] _ Use it every way you can.
Don't be [Db] afraid of it, or what other people think of it, [Eb] it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
_ [Fm] _ Dance. _
Even if you have [Eb] nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the [Db] directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do [Eb] not read beauty [Cm] magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
_ _ _ _ Brother and sister, _ _ together we'll make [C] it _ through. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] Someday our spirit will take you and guide you there. _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I know you've been hurting, _ [Cm] but _ I've been waiting to [Db] be there for you.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
And [Ab] I'll be there [Fm] just helping you _ [Eb] out _ whenever _ I [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] can. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Live _ _ in New York City once, but leave before it makes [C] you hard.
_ Live [B] in Northern California once, but _ leave before it [Fm] makes you soft.
_ [Cm] Travel.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ Accept certain _ inalienable [Db] truths.
Prices will rise, _ politicians will philander, you too will [Fm] get old.
And when you do, [Ab] _
[Fm] you'll [Eb] fantasize that when you were [Cm] young, _ [Eb] prices [Db] were reasonable, _ politicians were noble, _ [Eb] and children _ _ respected their elders.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _
Respect your [Cm] elders.
_ Don't expect anyone else to [Db] support you.
_ _ [Bbm]
Maybe you [Ab] have a trust [Eb] fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse, _ _ _ [F] but you never [Fm] know when either one might run [Eb] out.
_ Don't mess too much with your hair, [Db] or by the time you're 40, it will look [Eb] 85. _ _ _ _
_ _ Be [Fm] careful whose advice you buy, [Cm] but be patient with those who supply [Db] it.
_ Advice is a form of nostalgia. _ _
Dispensing it is a [Fm] way of fishing past from the disposal, [Cm] wiping it off, painting over the ugly [Eb] parts, _ and [Cm] recycling it for more than it's worth.
_ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Abm] But trust me on the sunscreen.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] Whatever _ _ it's worth, _ [Eb] together _ [Cm] we'll make [Db] it _ _ through.
_ _ _ _ Oh, _ yeah.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ Someday a spirit [Eb] will take you [Cm] and [Eb] guide you [Db] _ _ _ _
there.
_ _ [Eb] Oh, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] no, _ you've been hurting, [Cm] but I've been waiting [Db] for _ _ _ you.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ And [Fm] I'll be there just helping you _ [Eb] out _ whenever _ I [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] can.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] Yeah, _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ freedom, _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] everybody _ _ [Ab] needs _ freedom.
[Bb] _
_ _ _ Oh, _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
to feel love. _ _
