Verse
I've Ctaken to leaning, these pD/F#ast few days
a little Gtoo heavy on my wCalking cane
Emcause I'm afraid shes's swGinging my way
tChat wrecking ball.
CNow with all my dD/F#ucks in a row
wiGth one pull IC could let 'em go
Emnot to lose,G just to show I
Ccould catch them all.
CBut every man bears a burden, his own bD/F#east by the horns
G c
that he hides from the world when he's young and strong
lookingEm over his shoulder, half teGthered and torn,
stilCl standing tall.
CBut every year rolls on like a rD/F#unaway train
every Gbeast grows stronger as the peCndulum swings
toEm and fro, and on sGhe goes
Cthat wrecking ball.
(Instrumental break) Play verse chords
CI've just seen that D/F#rock of ages
I've just hGeld my saviors hCands
we dEmanced on the water with my hGead on her shoulder
she sCwore to never let me fall.
CAnd wouldn't time seem D/F#so kindly
iGf every bright eCyed girl could be
mEmore like you and shGelter me
from that wrCecking ball Am
that wrecking Dball
