[Verse 1]
C Bb Am Am7/G
Everybody's looking for the answers,
F G# C Csus4 C Cadd9 C
To everything they just can't understand,
C Bb Am Am7/G
Some praise God and some sing Hare Krishna,
F G# C Csus4 C
Some go door to door to say the world will end.
[Chorus 1]
Bb Am Am7/G
Well, it's all quite a sight,
Bb F
Everybody thinks they're right,
G# C
And everybody else is just insane,
Am/F# C
Otherwise, their lives are down the drain,
Am/F# C
All the years they spent just selling their songs,
Am/F# C C7
Just to find out it's all wrong. . .
F G#
It’s all wrong . . .

All the time that's lost in fruitless thinking,
F G# C Csus4 C
Surrounded by so many gifts of every kind.
[Outro]
Bb Am Am7/G
Well, it's all such a shame,
Bb F
So many years gone down the drain,
G# C
While life passes like a big parade,
Am/F# C
All the laughter, all the music's played,
Am/F# C
All the friends you know you could have made,
Am/F# C C7
Then the big parade is gone,
F G#
Then the big parade is gone . . .,
C
Life's a big parade.
Am/F# C
All the laughter, all the music's played,
Am/F# C
All the friends you know you could have made,
Am/F# C C7
Then the big parade is gone,
F G#
Then the big parade is gone . . .,
C
Life's a big parade.
Am/F# C
All the laughter, all the music's played,
Am/F# C
All the friends you know you could have made,
Am/F# C C7
Then the big parade is gone,
