I used to be a renegade,
[E]I used to fool around[A]
[E]but I couldn't take the pun[A]ishment,
[E]and had to settle dow[A]n.
Now I'm playing it[G] real straight,
and y[A]es I cu[Bm]t my h[E]air
[F#m]you might think I'm crazy, b[G#m]ut I don't even care
beca[A]use I can tell what's going on:
It's hip to be a squa[E]re[A]
It's hip to be a squa[E]re.[A]
[E]I like my bands in bu[A]siness suits,
[E]I watch them on [A]TV
[E]I'm working out most [A]everyday
[E]and watching what I e[A]at.
They tell me that [G]it's good for me,
but I[A] don't [Bm]even c[E]are
[F#m]I know that it's crazy, I[G#m] know that it's nowhere
but [A]there is no denying that:
It's hip to be a squa[E]re[A]
It's hip to be a squa[E]re[A]
It's hip to be a squa[E]re[A]
So hip to be a square[E]. [A]
[E]It's not too hard to [A]figure out,
[E]you see it everyday [A]
[E]and those that were the [A]farthest out
[E]have gone the other w[A]ay .
You see them on the fre[G]eway,
it do[A]n't look like a l[Bm]ot of fun [E]
[A]but don't you try to fig[G]ht it;
"An i[A]dea who's t[Bm]ime has co[E]me."
[F#m]Don't tell me that I'm crazy, do[G#m]n't tell me I'm nowhere
take[A] it from me:
It's hip to be a squa[E]re[A]
It's hip to be a squa[E]re[A]
It's hip to be a squa[E]re[A]
So hip to be a square[E]. [A]
[E]Here, There, a[A]nd everywhere!
[E]Hip, Hip, so h[A]ip to be a square!
[E]Here, There, a[A]nd everywhere!
[E]Hip, Hip.[A]
[E]Here, There, a[A]nd everywhere!
[E]Hip, Hip, so h[A]ip to be a square!
[E]Here, There, a[A]nd everywhere!
[E]Hip, Hip.[A]
[E]Here, There, a[A]nd everywhere!
[E]Hip, Hip, so h[A]ip to be a square!
[E]Here, There, a[A]nd everywhere!
