Hip To Be Square

E                    A
I used to be a renegade,
E                    A
I used to fool around
E                          A
but I couldn't take the punishment,
E                    A
and had to settle down.

                  G
Now I'm playing it real straight,
     A      Bm    E
and yes I cut my hair
F#m                         G#m
you might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care
    A
because I can tell what's going on:

                     E   A
It's hip to be a square
                     E   A
It's hip to be a square.

E                    A
I like my bands in business suits,
E               A
I watch them on TV
E                    A
I'm working out most everyday
E                    A
and watching what I eat.

                  G
They tell me that it's good for me,
     A      Bm    E
but I don't even care
F#m                      G#m
I know that it's crazy, I know that it's nowhere
    A
but there is no denying that:

                     E   A
It's hip to be a square
                     E   A
It's hip to be a square
                     E   A
It's hip to be a square
                     E   A
So hip to be a square.

E                    A
It's not too hard to figure out,
E                   A
you see it everyday
E                       A
and those that were the farthest out
E                    A
have gone the other way .

                       G
You see them on the freeway,
     A                Bm        E
it don't look like a lot of fun
A                       G
but don't you try to fight it;
     A          Bm        E
"An idea who's time has come."

F#m                             G#m
Don't tell me that I'm crazy, don't tell me I'm nowhere
    A
take it from me:

                     E   A
It's hip to be a square
                     E   A
It's hip to be a square
                     E   A
It's hip to be a square
                     E   A
So hip to be a square.
