[Em]
Well you can ride on the best of a wave [E] if that's [D] where you wanna be.
[Em] But does the look on your face mean you really [D] feel it?
[Em] Do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg?
[A] Or a cool man watching you ride [C] away?
A phrase from a book [D] that [Em] can't be read at all.
You can see by the way [E] that [D] they are drawn.
[Em] Let it stop you, pick up your prism.
[D] If [Em] they wanna see your long legs a [A]-flyin',
Go to the place where the earth [C] is.
If you don't stop and turn [D] around and [E] wave goodbye at all,
[Em]
[D] [C#m] They won't be [E] satisfied.
[D] [C#m] So you're on.
[E]
[D] [C#m] But I wonder [E] how will that be,
[D] [C#m] With a deck of [C] cards,
And you not around to deal.

[Em]
Well, I'd say it's a lie if the joke got too [D] old.
You're [Em] like a cat that's chasing its [A] tail.
Makes a million seconds, but you're gonna [C] fail.
[Dm] Sometimes your jokes [E] don't understand.
[Em] Well, [E] you've been lying on the dust of a wave,
But that's the [D] way you wanna be.
[Em] It doesn't look kind of nice when you really [D] feel it.
[E] You need to be like the salad on a whittled egg.
[A] An old man must have fried some [C] eggs.
A phrase from a [D] book that can't be [E] read at all.
