Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Every pupil  in the classroom
 Will answer  this song if you ask  them
 Every mouth  shout the message  out as one
 Every girl  weeps like a willow
 Every boy  cries into his pillow
 Every tear  disappears  in the morning sun
 You don't need  an indie song
 To figure  out what's going  on
Tell  me that I'm normal
 And tell  me that I'm sane
 And tell me that you feel  this too
 The dreams  that we have had
 Are gonna prove  that we're not mad
 To you...
 Every nose  is a vacuum cleaner
 In the loved-up  London arena
 Every eye  shines a dollar  sign for me
 Every tongue  will wag if you want it
 Every lung  has a shadow on  it
 Every heart  comes apart  at the seams
 You don't need  a mastermind
 To read  between the long  white lines
Tell  me that I'm normal
 And tell  me that I'm sane
 And tell me that you feel  this too
 The dreams  that we have had
 Are gonna prove  that we're not mad
 To you...
 Well we all  need reassurance
 As we play  life's game of endurance
 Like a nice  cup of tea  or a cigarette
 But don't lean  too long on the crutches
 Or you'll fall  straight into the clutches
 Of those  who see free expression  as a threat
 You don't need  a law degree
 To set  your mind and spirit  free so tell me...
What  the hell is normal?
 And who  the hell is sane?
 And why the hell care anyway?
 The dreams  that we have had
 Are gonna prove  that we're all mad
 And that's okay...
