G       C          G      C
I see smiles and tangled hair
G          C       G      C
And finger-painted window sills
G          C          Em               
Clouds the world they say is real
Am                  
I've tried to see their way


G         C          G     C
But now I found that up is down
G             C          G  C
Circles don't lead back around
G         C       Em
Something lost is always found
   Am               Am
It may not look the same
    C                   C*
But some things have to change


G     B           C        C7          G
Say tomorrow is today that rainy is sunny
      B         C            C7
I'd rather be a fool than foolish
G      B             C        C7             G
If the bird became a book I'd run and take a look
      B              C
While people ran the other way
C7                 C     C*
Afraid to play the fool


G     C     G     C
                  Afraid to play the
G     C     G     C
fool


G    C           G     C
Open windows and sandy floors
G         C          G     C
Scattered tables and paper wars
G      C          Em  
May at first look like such a bore
Am                  Am
But really who's to say
C              C*
What is really real


G     B           C        C7          G

Afraid to play the fool

Em                    Am
   Afraid to play the fool
Em                     C
   Afraid to put their hands in the air and say
C* (hold)
"Damn it ! I don't care"
