INTRO: 
D
There's a fraction too much friction    [x4]


VERSE:
F#             B            F#        B
Take a typical man, put him    with a typical woman, 
    E             B                F#
Then sit back and watch ev'rything   slide
F#               B       F#            B
It's a perfectly natural expression of ill will,
   E             B        F#
But when will hostilities subside?


CHORUS:
D                  Bm                 G   A
There's a fraction too much friction
D                  Bm                 G   A
There's a fraction too much friction
D                  Bm         
Don't believe in opposing factions,
G                    A
what we need is some positive action,
D                  Bm                 G      A      B
There's a fraction too much friction  yeah   oh     yeah


VERSE:
It's a very old problem that goes back to the dark ages,
the wages of original sin
Let's make it a better world let's shake it up, boys and girls,
It's never too late to begin


CHORUS:
There's a fraction too much friction
There's a fraction too much friction, yeah;
Men and women need each other,
Should be like sister and brother,
There's a fraction too much friction
Yeah, oh yeah.


VERSE: Da da da da da da da da da da (substitute for words)

CHORUS: Da da da da da da da da da da (substitute for words)


BRIDGE:
B
Looking for a man who will love his woman
Looking for a woman who will love her man
Looking for a man who will love his woman
Looking for a woman who will love her man


VERSE:
I swallow my pride for you, my personal highs bore you,
You're too wrapped up in your own world,
I'm not a man for nothing, I gotta become some one,
Inside this oyster there's a pearl.


CHORUS:
There's a fraction too much friction
There's a fraction too much friction, yeah;
Holding on to the bygone era,
Everybody shout 'cause we're getting nearer,
There's a fraction too much friction,
Yeah, oh yeah, oh
