[F] [E] [Ab] [A] [E] [Ab]
[A] [E] [A]
[Bm] I used to [C] be a [Eb] renegade, [E] [A] I used to fool around, [E] [Ab] but I couldn't [A] take my next step, [E] and had to [A] settle down.
[Em] [A] Now I'm [G] playing it real straight, [A] and just [Bm] like [E] a liar.
[Gbm] You might think I'm [E] crazy, but I don't even [A] care, cause I can tell what's going on.
[E] It's hip to be [Ab] square, [A] it's [E] hip to be [Ab] square.
[A]
[E] I [A] watch my fans in minisuit, [E] I watch them [A] on TV.
[Em] [E] [Ab] I'm working [Db] out almost [E] every day, and [Ab] watching what [A] I eat.
[G] [A] You tell me [G] that it's good for me, [A] but [Bm] I don't [E] even care.
[Gbm] I know that it's [E] crazy, I know that it's nowhere, [B] but there is no denying that.
[E] It's hip to be [Ab] square, [A] it's [E] hip to be [Ab] square.
[A]
It's [E] hip to be [Ab] square, [A] it's [E] hip to be [Ab] square.

[A] [E] [Ab] [A] [E] [A]
[E] [Ab] [A]
[E] It's not too [A] hard to figure out, [Ab] you see [A] it every day.
[Em] [A] And those that were there for themselves, have gone the other [G] way.
[A] You see [G] them on the freeway, [A] you [Bm] don't look like [E] a lot of fun.
[A] But don't you [G] try to fight it, [A] you [Bm] have no idea who's [E] time to come.
[Gbm] Don't tell me that I'm [E] crazy, don't tell me I'm [B] nowhere, but here's the thing.
[E] It's hip to be square, [Ab] [A] [E] it's hip to be square.
[A] [E] It's hip to be square, [A] so [E] hip to be [Ab] square.
[A] Tell em, boy!
