Tell me a story about something pretty,

A guardian angel up in the sky.

Make me believe you, a hill for the climber.
F C G C
Ask me no questions, tell you no lies.
[Chorus]
F C F C
I'm hangin' on, my mouth hangin' open.
F C G
World's spinnin' faster, round and around.

Hey, what's the matter? You look unexpected.

Like you took a right turn on the wrong side of town.

You with the light on, looking so hopeful.

You're just pretending but I know what you've done.

Cryin' your heart out while nobody's lookin'.

It's not gettin' better, you're not havin' fun.

You don't even notice the face of the sky.

F C F C
So many answers, loose talk and whispers.
F C G
Pick up some pieces, gobble them down.
F C F C
Don't talk in words so I won't understand you.
F C G C
Just hold up the fingers and cry like a clown.

I'm hangin' on, my mouth hangin' open.
F C G
World's spinnin' faster, round and around.
F C F C
Hey, what's the matter? You look unexpected.

Like you took a right turn on the wrong side of town.
