[Verse]
       E                 A                  E      A
Well I can't control the universe 'cause I'm only a man
    E               A                      D        A
And I may read the papers but it won't tell me who I am
                  E          A
And if you really need a new philosophy
            E              A
Well here's one that makes sense
        D    A
The one I profess 


[Chorus]
        E  A   E   A
(I say) Hey Whatever 
         E           A
Let your beauty come alive 
         D               A
Let your colour fill the sky 
    E  A   E   A
And say whatever 
              E              A
Why don't you liberate your mind? 
         D               A
Let your colour fill the sky 


[Verse]
E                 A                     E           A
All the world's a waiting room and we're standing in line 
        E             A       D              A
For the answer to the question 'what makes me smile?'
C#m
Don't let them change your story
Cm
Don't let them change your song
Bm                                   A#m
Don't let the gurus and philosophers lead you on
A     B     C#m   D 
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah...


[Chorus]
        E  A   E   A
(I say) Hey Whatever 
         E           A
Let your beauty come alive 
         D               A
Let your colour fill the sky 
    E  A   E   A
And say whatever 
              E              A
Why don't you liberate your mind? 
         D               A
Let your colour fill the sky 


[Bridge]
E                  A
It's like taking a seat at the roulette table
E                     A
And just spinning the wheel
E                   A
And good or bad you take what comes
         D              A
It don't change how you feel 
E                       A
If you're a champion of science 
                E          A
or are you're a freak show fool?
     E         A         D        A
what cannot be proved can still be true 


[Final Chorus]
        E  A   E   A
(I say) Hey Whatever 
         E           A
Let your beauty come alive 
         D               A
Let your colour fill the sky 
    N.C.
And say whatever 
N.C.
Why don't you liberate your mind? 
N.C.
Let your colour fill the sky
