Well you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be
Em D6
but does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy
Em
or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg
A/E
or a poor man much too proud to beg
C/E D/E Em
or a page from a book that can't be read at all
Em (Emadd11) Em (Emadd11) Em (Emadd11) Em G, x...
Em D6
Can't you see by the way that they are talking
Em D6
that it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking
Em
'cause they want to see your long legs flying
A/E
go to the place where the earth meets the sky and
C/E D/E Em
don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all

They won't be satisfied,
E7/D E6/C# E/B E
till you're out of their sight
E7/D E6/C# E/B E
but I wonder how will you feel
E7/D E6/C# E/B E
with a deck of cards
C+
you're not around to deal, yeh

Well they say it's a lie, it's a joke that you are living
Em D6
but you know one thing they don't, you won't give in
Em
'cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail
A/E C/E
makes a million circles but you're gonna fail

sometimes you just don't understand
