Please trip [Em] them gently, [A] they don't like [Am] to fall
[Em] Oh, my [C]
Jingle
[Em] There's no room for anger, [A] we're all [Am] very small
[Em] Oh, [F] my Jingle
[C] We're painting our faces [G] and dressing in thoughts from [E] the skies From [Am] paradise
But they think that we're holding [E] a secretive ball
[C] Won't someone invite them, they're just torn children [A] That's all
[Am]
After [A] all

Love [E] is [Em] an obstacle [A] as sad [Am] as the clouds

Jingle
[Em] So hold on to nothing [A] and it won't let you [Am] down
[Em] Oh, [C] my Jingle
Some people are marching [G] together and some on [E] their own
Quite [A] alone
