Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  the hearts of men,  in the arms of mothers
In  the parts we play to  convince others
We  know what we're doing,  we're doing it right
May  have written books on the subject, but then you may  still be surprised
By  your tone over the phone, to your sister  while waiting in line
At  the shopping mall just  outside of town
Oh-hoo,
oh-hoo,
oh-hoo...
Oooh
 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
Oh-hoo,  laa-da-da-da
Oh-hoo,  laa-da-da-da
Oh-hoo...
Oooh
We  tell yourself you are must be  what you be
Who's  to say who is who and what is what if you  simply don't agree, now
Time  will come to claim you, and  it will have its way
 Don't make  no mistakes  and don't  regret
Don't  waste the time  that  is left
 And then do  it all...  With a goddamn smile
Laa-la-la,  laa-la-la
Laa-la-la,  laa-la-la
Laa-la-la...
 Laa-ah-aah...
In  the hearts of men,  in the arms of mothers
In  the parts we play to  convince others
