[G] [A]
[Bb] [C]
[G] [F] Whatever happened to the [Bb] funky race?
A generation [C] lost in [G] pace?
[Dm] Wasn't life [F] supposed to be more than [Bb] this?
In this kiss, I'll [C] change your bow for my [G] bliss
Lick on my hand and [F] it will slip on the sand
[Bb] If you don't give me the chance to [C] break down the walls of [G] attitude
I [A] ask nothing of you
[Bb] Not even [C] your gratitude
[Bb] And if you think I'm corny [C] then it will not make me sorry
[Dm] It's your right to laugh at [F] me
And in [Bb] turn this is my opportunity [C] to feel [Dm] brave
[F] Cause it [Bb] takes a fool to remain [C] sane
Oh, it takes a [F] fool to remain sane
Oh, it [Bb] takes a fool to remain [C] sane
Oh, in [D] this world I'm covered up in [F] shame
[G] Every morning I would [F] see her getting off the bus
[Bb] The picture never drops, it's [C] like a multicolored snapshot
[G] Stuck in my brain, [F] it's kept me sane
[Bb] For a couple of years, [C] as it drains my fears
[G] Of becoming like the others, [F] who become unhappy mothers
[Bb] And fathers of unhappy [C] kids
And why's that?
Cause [Bb] they've forgotten how to play
[C] Or maybe [F] they're afraid to feel ashamed
To seem [Bb] strange, to seem [C] insane
To gain weight, to seem [Dm] gay
I tell you this
That it takes a fool to remain [C] sane
Oh, it takes a [Dm] fool to remain [F] sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain [C] sane
Oh, in this [F] world I'm covered up in shame
Oh, take it to [Bb] the stage
[C]
[G] [F] Oh,
[Bb] [C]
[G] [F]
[G] take it to the stage
[F] In my multicolored jacket
[Dm] Take a jackpot, crack
[C] Drop it like a [G] peacock
Native on your shark and [F] saw
Shimmy shammy feather [Bb] ball
Crack pop haircut [C] style
Hairy glowing red [Bb] and blue
You do do [F] what you wanna do
[Am] Don't be twice due
What [Dm] you have to [Bb] do do do do do
[F] Let your heart decide
[Dm] What you have to do
Let's all use your [F] fire
[C] Cause it takes a [Dm] fool to remain sane
[F] Oh, it takes a [Dm] fool to remain [C] sane
