C F7M
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
Am G
In the parts we play to convince others
C F7M
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 F7M
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
F7M
Oh-hoo
Am
Oh-hoo
G
Oooh
C F7M
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read
Am G
The things we say when we've lost the lead
C F7M
I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound
Am G
And I thought it all over too many times
C F7M
When there is no use, and the lights are all out
Am
I just give it up, and I walk home
G
Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down
C
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
F7M
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Am
Oh-hoo
G
Oooh
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
F7M
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Am
Laa-la-la
G
Laa-ah-aah
C F7M
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
Am G
In the parts we play to convince others
