Intro: C  Fmaj7  Am   G 

C                    Fmaj7 
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers 
Am                   G 
In the parts we play to convince others 
C                       Fmaj7 
We know what we're doing, we're doing it right 
Am                                                   G           
May have written books on the subject, but then you may still be surprised 
C                                    Fmaj7 
By your tone over the phone, to your sister while waiting in line 
Am                       G 
At the shopping mall just outside of town 

C 
Oh-hoo,  
Fmaj7 
oh-hoo,  
Am 
oh-hoo...  
G 
Oooh 

(Same chords as the last verse) 

In the hands of teachers, in the books you read 
The things we say when we've lost the lead 
I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound 
And I thought it all over too many times 
When there is no use, and the lights are all out 
I just give it up, and I walk home  
Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down 


C 
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da 
Fmaj7 
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da 
Am 
Oh-hoo...  
G 
Oooh (2x) 

Am                            G 
We tell yourself you are must be what you be 
Am                                             G 
Who's to say who is who and what is what if you simply don't agree, now 
Am                           G 
Time will come to claim you, and it will have its way 
      Am       G            Am      G 
Don't make no mistakes and don't regret 
Am               G    Am      G 
Don't waste the time that is left 
         Am        G                 C          
And then do it all... With a goddamn smile 


C 
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la 
Fmaj7 
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la 
Am 
Laa-la-la... 
       G 
Laa-ah-aah... (2x)

C                    Fmaj7 
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers 
Am                   G 
In the parts we play to convince others 

End:  C
