        E                A
Well I can't control the universe
           E       A
'cause I'm only a man
    E               A
And I may read the papers but it won't
      D       A
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

All the world's a waitin' room
And we're standin' in line
For the answer to the question
Of what makes me smile? Oh

C#m
Don't let them change your story
 G# 
Don't let them change your song
Bm                                    F#  
Don't let the gurus and philosophers lead you on
 A     B     C#m   D
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah...

Chorus:
Hey, whatever
Let your beauty come alive
Let your color fill the sky
And say whatever
Why don't you liberate your mind?
(Liberate your mind)
Let your color fill the sky
(Woo!)

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

Chorus:
And I say, "Hey whatever
(Whatever baby)
Let your beauty come alive
Let your color fill the sky"
And say whatever
(Hey)
Why don't you liberate your mind?
(Never rate your mind?)
Let your color fill the sky
Hey whatever
(Ooh)
Let your beauty come alive
Let your color fill the sky
And say whatever
Why don't you liberate your mind?
Let your color fill the sky
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Hey whatever
