[Intro]

| Dm7 | C/D | Dm7 | C/D |
| G/A | A | G/A | A |
[Verse 1]
Dm7 Like father like C/Dson
Not Dm7flesh nor fish nor bone
A C/Dred rag hangs from an open mouth
ADm7live at both ends but a little C/Ddead in the middle
A-Dm7tumbling and a-bumbling he C/Dwill go
G/AAll the kings horses and Aall the kings men
Could G/Anever put a smile on that fAace
[Verse 2]
He’s a Dm7sly one, he's a shy one
Wouldn’t C/Dyou be too
Dm7Scared to be left all on his C/Down
Dm7Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to C/Dplay with, the ugly duckling
The Dm7pressure on, the bubble will burst beC/Dfore our eyes
G/AAll the while in perAfect time
His tears are G/Afalling on the ground
But if you Adon't stand up you don't stand a chance
[Interlude]
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D Gm/D Gm6/D |
You don’t stand a chance 5/4
Am/D Dm7 |
Go a little faster now
Bb/D Gm/D | Dm7add11 Dm7 |
You might get there in time (break)
[Middle 8]
F Mirror, Am7mirror on the Dm7wall
His Ebheart was broken long before he Bbever came to Fyou
Stop your Am7tears from Dm7falling
The Ebtrail they leave is very clear for Bball to see at Fnight
Am7 D
All to see at night
[Interlude]
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |
(... at night)
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |
They don’t have eyes
[Verse 3]
Dm7 In season, out of C/Dseason
What's the Dm7difference when you don't know the C/Dreason
In Dm7one hand bread, the other a C/Dstone
Dm7 The hunter enters the C/Dforest
G/AAll are not huntsmen who can Ablow the huntsman’s horn
By the look of G/Athis one you’ve not got much to Afear
[Verse 4]
Dm7Here I am, I'm very fierce and C/Dfrightening
Dm7Come to match my skill to C/Dyours
Now Dm7listen here, listen to me,C/D don't you run away now
I Dm7am a friend; I'd really like to C/Dplay with you
Making G/Anoises my little furry Afriend would make
I’ll G/Atrick him, then I'll kick him into my Asack
A D
You better watch out ... You better watch out
[Interlude]
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |

5/4
Am/D Dm7 |
I've got you, I've got you
Bb/D Gm/D | Dm7add11 Dm7 |
You’ll never get away (break)
[Middle 8]
F Walking Am7home that Dm7night
The Ebsack across my back, the sound of Bbsobbing on my Fshoulder
When Am7suddenly it Dm7stopped
I opened Ebup the sack; all that I had: a Bbpool of bubbles and Ftears
Am7 D
Just a pool of tears
[Interlude]
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |
(... of tears)
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D A/D |
Just a pool of tears
[Coda]
Bsus4 All in Ball you are a F#mvery dying race
APlacing trust upon a Ecruel world
You never had the Bthings you thought you should have had
And F#myou'll not get them now
And all the Awhile in perfect time
Your tears are E/Bfalling on the Bground
[Outro] (just the basics; keyboard plays a lot of chords here)
