The Teachers Argument Chords & Lyrics - Misc Soundtrack - Fame

[Dm]Artists are special ce[Dm/C]lestial fools
[Dm/B]blessed with the talent for [A#]breaking the rules
[Dm] /[C] /[B] [A#] [Gm7]
I'm fit for confinement in cubicle schools
[A#]/[C] [Am/C] [Gm]/[C]
artists are
[A#/F]specia[F]l

[Dsus]/[E] [A7sus] [A7]

[Dm] /[C]
Artists are people not primitive fools
[Dm/B] /[A#]
they learn what to do before breaking the rules
[Dm]/[A] /[G#] [C/G] [F] [Dm7]
they know that the brain is the finest of tools
[F/G]artis[Em/G]ts are [Dm/G]
[F/C]peopl[C]e

[D#]Whether in theatre or [C7]music or dance
they [D#]have to be given the [C7]chance
to [A#]fly by the [Am]seat of their pants[Gm]
to develop their [Gm]minds and be nurtured
like [A7sus]plants

[A7sus] [A7]

[Dm]Artists are part of the same human race
as everyone else in the same bloody place
[F/A] /[G#] [C/G] [F] [D7]
you learn to survive or you fall on your face
artist or [Gm]not [C]
[A7] [Dm] (5 bars)
artist or not

I've seen them come and go for all these years
[Fm7]kids with no talent for anything more than carrying spears [D#maj7]
another year another shipment
[C#]/[G] [F#]/[C] C7b5
lacking the drive or the style or the basic equipment
Fno3rd
this one is different.

Ano3rd

And i can see [D]me then[F#7] , unre[Bm]markable me[A]
the kid in the [D]ballet class [D7]
the princess i [G]wanted to be [C#]
tutu and [F#m]pointe shoes[F]
hair in a [Em]bun [D#]
completely un[A#]noticed [D#]
as if i were [A7sus4]no one

[Dm] /[C]
this one is different i tell you
[G/B] [Gm]/[A#] [A7]
this one can dance
this one is [Dm]special i tell you
A# G Cno3rd (5 bars)

Gno3rd (2 bars)

What did they tell me when i was a girl
Learn...
Day after day when i was a girl
Learn...
The [B]land of dreams waits over the meadow
[C#]if you can find a way
out of the ghetto
[D]learn, [E]learn
put your [A]faith in books [G] [D]
that will protect you
put your [A]faith in books [G] [D]
and a mind of your own
neither [A]charm or looks [G] [D] [C]
will make them respect you
you must learn to stand
you must learn to stand alone

this one is different
put your faith in books
this one can dance
put your faith in books
artists are special
artists are people
this one must have the chance
this one must have the chance.
