REFRÄNG:
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

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
Oh,It takes a fool to remain sane
Bb C
It takes a fool to remain sane

In this world all covered up in shame
