C                        Am
I remember wishing I was older
G                Em              F
Always something big around the corner
    C                              Am
But as the years go by I'm growing younger
G             Em                     F
Open eye and head still filled with wonder
C   F   C  F  G  Am G  C  F
Won-der oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohoh
C  F  C  F  G  Am G
Mm-mm-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohoh

Chorus:
F         C          G          Am
Pledge of allegiance everybody stand up
F       C      G       Am
This is our irrational anthem
 F        C        G               Am
We don't care if they don't understand us
 F       C     G
This is our Irrational
G
Irrational Anthem
F  G  Am G  F  F  G  Am F  F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Let your mind go anywhere it wants to
Make your wildest wish and watch it come true
Somehow, somewhere we forgot
Cowboys, Indians, Astronauts
All the dreams that we could not hold on to
Take it back, ooooohhhhh
(1, 2, 3, 4)

Chorus:
Pledge allegiance, everybody stand up
This is our irrational anthem
We don't care if they don't understand us
This is our irrational, irrational anthem

        Dm                 G
There's nothing worse then normal
         C             F
There's no fun in one day
     Dm                 G
When everyone else gets older
C             F
I refuse to change
Dm      G
We go strong
C         Am
Right or wrong
Dm                 G C
Who's side are you on

Chorus:
Pledge allegiance, everybody stand up
This is our irrational anthem
We don't care if they don't understand us
This is our irrational, irrational anthem

Pledge allegiance, everybody stand up
This is our irrational anthem
We don't care if they don't understand us
This is our irrational, irrational anthem
Oooooohhh
Oooooohhh
Oooooohhh
Oooooohhh
