DF RÄNG:
Bb C Dm7 F (4x)
Gm       F/A
Whatever happened to the funky race?
Bb            C
A generation lost in pace,
Gm               F/A
-Wasn´t life supposed to be more than this?
Bb                  C
In this kiss I´ll change your bore for my bliss
Gm                                 F/A                               Bb
But let go of my hand and it will slip out in the sand if you don´t give me the chance
          C
to break down the walls of attitude,
Gm      F/A
I ask nothing of you
Bb              C
not even your gratitude

    Bb
And if you think I´m corny
     C
then it will not make me sorry
          Dm7                  F
it´s your right to laugh at me
                    Bb           C
and in turn, that´s my opportunity
         Dm7   F
to feel brave

                   Bb             C
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
            Dm7              F
It takes a fool to remain sane
            Bb             C
It takes a fool to remain sane
         Dm7                       F
In this world all covered up in shame

Gm                             F/A                     Bb
Every morning I would see her getting off the bus the picture never drops
             C                      Gm
it´s like a multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain
    F/A                Bb
it kept me sane for a couple of years
        C
as it drenched my fears
     Gm
of becoming like the others
       F/A
who become unhappy mothers
     Bb                 C
and fathers of unhappy kids

And why is that?

                  Bb                 C
'Cause they´ve forgotten how to play
                 Dm7                 F
maybe they´re afraid to feel ashamed
         Bb
to seem strange
           C
to seem insane
         Dm7
to seem gay
           F
to gain weight
- I tell you this:

                 Bb             C
That it takes a fool to remain sane
            Dm7              F
It takes a fool to remain sane
            Bb             C
It takes a fool to remain sane
         Dm7                        F
In this world all covered up in shame
(-Oh, take it to the stage!)

     Gm                       F/A                           Bb
So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket take it jackpot, crackpot,
    C
strutting like a peacock
Gm
nailvarnish Arkansas
 F/A                         Bb
shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut
          C
dye your hair in glowing red and blue,
 Bb         C                   Dm7                     F
-Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do, Don´t think twice, do what you have to do,
Bb         C                     Dm7                 F
Do, Do, Do, let your heart decide what you have to do that´s all there is to find

                  Bb             C
Cause it takes a fool to remain sane,
               Dm7              F

            Bb             C

         Dm7                        F
In this world all covered up in shame
            Bb             C
It takes a fool to remain sane,
            Dm7               F
It takes a fool to remain sane
            Bb             C
It takes a fool to remain sane
         Dm7                        F
In this world all covered up in shame
