In watermelon -shaped balloons

When a kid came up and intervened
D

He must have been about seventeen
D 
He said, this ain't the guy
A 
you're lookin' for
G 
D 
G 
And so the police let me be
D 
G 
And I'm pushin' rocks up hills
D 
that are steeper gettin' steeper
G 
I'm sometimes being watched
D 
by eight most friendly creepers
G 
On the seventh day I rest,
E 
but the sixth I like the best
D 
A 
G 
When the waves come crashing down
D 
A 
G 
And all we've built gets drowned
D

And the wind goes wild,
G

F#m 
D

down
D 
G 
She was probably older by a few years,
D 
F#m 
D 
G 
but I could not know for sure
D 
I found myself on the outside
G 
D 
G 
looking in on what we were
D 
Was it me that she was flirting with
G 
D 
G 
or the promise of what could be?
D 
F#m 
Something flashed, she took  my hand
G 
D 
G 
and led me out to sea
And I'm throwing left right punches
D 
in the rhythms I've enjoyed
G 
And the thoughts flow out of my mind
D 
and straight into the void
G 
And you can never build
E 
that which cannot be destroyed
D 
A 
G 
When the waves come crashing down
D

Well, I can see the Ferris wheel
G 
D 
from my hotel window
G 
D 
Oh, it's the oldest one in Europe
A 
D 
G 
D 
G 
and I  wanted to but never got to go
D 
And  I'm sleeping on the floor
A 
D 
G 
be cause the bed that gave
D 
G 
me just two saw off
D 
A 
And anytime I take a  ride
D 
on something old
G

I'm ready to get off
D
