[Verse]
G#
The trouble with schools is
C#m G#C#mG#G
They always try to teach the wrong lessons
Fm7 C#m
Believe me, I've been kicked out
Bm7/Eb
Of enough of them to know
G#
They want you to become less callow
C#m
Less shallow
Fm7 C#m
But I say: why invite stress in?
G# C#m
Stop studying strife
Fm7 F
And learn to live the unexamined life
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
F
Dancing through life
Am
Skimming the surface
Bb Am7 Dm(7)
Gliding where turf is smooth
Bbm A7
Life's more painless
F Dm
For the brainless
Bbm7
Why think too hard
Cm
When it's so soothing
[Chorus]
F
Dancing through life
Am
No need to tough it
Bb Am7 Dm(7)
When you can slough it off as I do
Bb
Nothing matters
A7 Dm
But knowing nothing matters
Bb
It's just life
Am7 F/Am
So keep dancing through
[Chorus]
F
Dancing through life
Am
Swaying and sweeping
Bb Am7 Dm(7)
And always keeping cool
Bbm A7
Life is fraught-less
F Dm
When you're thoughtless
Bbm7
Those who don't try
Cm???
Never look foolish
[Chorus]
F
Dancing through life
Am
Mindless and careless
Bb Am7
Make sure you wear less
Dm(7)
Trouble and rife
Bb
Woes are fleeting
A7
Blows are glancing
Bb
When you're dancing
[Outro]
FAmFAm
Through life
