| Dm7 | C/D | Dm7 | C/D |
| G/A | A | G/A | A |
[Verse]
[Dm7] Like father like [C/D]son
Not [Dm7]flesh nor fish nor bone
A [C/D]red rag hangs from an open mouth
A[Dm7]live at both ends but a little [C/D]dead in the middle
A-[Dm7]tumbling and a-bumbling he [C/D]will go
[G/A]All the kings horses and [A]all the kings men
Could [G/A]never put a smile on that f[A]ace
[Verse]
He's a [Dm7]sly one, he's a shy one
Wouldn't [C/D]you be too
[Dm7]Scared to be left all on his [C/D]own
[Dm7]Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to [C/D]play with, the ugly duckling
The [Dm7]pressure on, the bubble will burst be[C/D]fore our eyes
[G/A]All the while in per[A]fect time
His tears are [G/A]falling on the ground
But if you [A]don't stand up you don't stand a chance
[Interlude]

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, [Am7]mirror on the [Dm7]wall
His [Eb]heart was broken long before he [Bb]ever came to [F]you
Stop your [Am7]tears from [Dm7]falling
The [Eb]trail they leave is very clear for [Bb]all to see at [F]night
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]
[Dm7] In season, out of [C/D]season
What's the [Dm7]difference when you don't know the [C/D]reason
In [Dm7]one hand bread, the other a [C/D]stone
[Dm7] The hunter enters the [C/D]forest
[G/A]All are not huntsmen who can [A]blow the huntsman's horn
By the look of [G/A]this one you've not got much to [A]fear
[Verse]
[Dm7]Here I am, I'm very fierce and [C/D]frightening
[Dm7]Come to match my skill to [C/D]yours
Now [Dm7]listen here, listen to me,[C/D] don't you run away now
I [Dm7]am a friend; I'd really like to [C/D]play with you
Making [G/A]noises my little furry [A]friend would make
I'll [G/A]trick him, then I'll kick him into my [A]sack
A [ D ]
You better watch out ... You better watch out
[Interlude]

[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 [Am7]home that [Dm7]night
The [Eb]sack across my back, the sound of [Bb]sobbing on my [F]shoulder
When [Am7]suddenly it [Dm7]stopped
I opened [Eb]up the sack; all that I had: a [Bb]pool of bubbles and [F]tears
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 [B]all you are a [F#m]very dying race
[A]Placing trust upon a [E]cruel world
You never had the [B]things you thought you should have had
And [F#m]you'll not get them now
And all the [A]while in perfect time
Your tears are [E/B]falling on the [B]ground
[Outro] (just the basics; keyboard plays a lot of chords here)
