Hip to be square

 

 

Intro. |C C/E |F :|

1. I used to be a renegade. I used to fool around
|C |F |C |F
but I couldn’t take the punishment and had to settle down.
|F |Eb |F Gm |C
Now I’m playing it real straight and yes, I cut my hair.
|Dm |Em |F |G
You might think I’m crazy but I don’t even care ‘cause I can tell what’s going on.

Refr. It’s hip to be square. It’s hip to be square.

 

2. I like my bands in business suits. I watch’em on TV.

I’m working out most every day and watching what I eat.

They tell me that’s it’s good for me but I don’t even care.

I know that it’s crazy. I know that it’s nowhere but there is no denying that

 

Refr.

 

Refr (2). It’s hip to be square, so hip to be square.

 

Solo. (vers + refr)

 

3. It’s not too hard to figure out. You see it every day

and those that were the farthest out have gone the other way.

You see them on the freeway. It don’t look like a lot of fun

but don’t you try to fight it. “An idea whose time has come”.

Don’t tell me that I’m crazy. Don’t tell me I’m nowhere. Take it from me.

 

Refr (2).
