Am G
At the shopping mall just outside of town
C
Oh-hoo,
Fmaj7
oh-hoo,
Am
oh-hoo...
G
Oooh
(Same chords as the last verse)
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read
The things we say when we've lost the lead
I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound
And I thought it all over too many times
When there is no use, and the lights are all out
I just give it up, and I walk home
Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down
C
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Fmaj7
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Am
Oh-hoo...
G
Oooh (2x)
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

Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Am
Laa-la-la...
G
Laa-ah-aah... (2x)

In the parts we play to convince others
