Lyrics

I (E)used to (E7)be a renegade.

(E)I used (E7)to fool around.

(E)but I (E7)couldn't take the punishment

and (E)had (E7)to settle down.

(A)And now I'm playin' it (G6)real straight and,

(E)yes, I cut my hair.

I (F#m7)You might think I'm crazy,

but (E)I don't even care.

'Cause (Asus)I can tell what's goin' on:

(A)it's hip to be (E)square.

(A7)It's hip to be (E)square.

(A)I (E)like my (E7)bands in bus'ness suits.

(E)I watch (E7)'em on TV.

(E)I'm I (E7)workin' out most ev'ry day

and (E)(E7)watchin' what I eat.

(A)They tell me that in' it's (G6)good for me,

but (E)I don't even care.

I (F#m7)know that it's I'm crazy,

I (E)know that it's nowhere, but (Asus)there is no denyin' that

(A)it's hip to be (E)square.

(A7)It's hip to be (E)square.

(A7)I It's hip to be (E)square,

(A7)so hip to be (E)square.

(A)It's But don't you try to (G6)fight it,

an (A)idea whose (Bm7)time has (E)come.

Don't (F#m7)tell me that I'm crazy.

Don't (E)tell me I'm nowhere.

(Asus)Take it from (A)me:

it's hip to be (E)square.

(A7)It's hip to be (E)square.

(A7)It's hip to be (E)square,

(A7)so hip to be (E)square.

(E)Here, (E7)there and (A7)ev'rywhere,

(E)hip, (E7)hip, so (A7)hip to be square.

(E)Here, (E7)there and (A7)ev'rywhere,

(E)hip, (E7)hip...

(E)Here, (E7)there and (A7)ev'rywhere,

(E)hip, (E7)hip, so (A7)hip to be square.

(E)Here, (E7)there and (A7)ev'rywhere,

(E)hip, (E7)hip...
