Intro:

E A B x2

E A
Some people ride the wave of generosity

B E
Some people ride the wave of mediocrity

E A
Me I ride the wave of never gonna drown

B E
Oh just fooling around

E
Now I gots the balloons

A
And you you gots the mud

B
And me I gots the snail

E
And you you gots the stuff

E A
Well you got so much more than I figure was in store

B E
Oh I ain't foolin no more

E A
Now some people ride the cat when asleep or when awake

B E
Some people ride a cat for riding a cat's sake

E A
Me I ride this cat cause its claws have got my eyes

B E
I'll get 'em back in a few more tries

B E
Oh I'll get 'em back in a few more tries

E A
Some people write the books that tenderize their names

B E
Some people write the books that bastardize our claims

E A
Me I ride the book that's sifting in the sand

B E
Aw, some day I'll understand

B E
Aw, some day I'll understand

E A
Some people write the songs that stay inside our souls

B E
Some people write the songs that really ain't songs at all

E A
Me I ride the song that ends right when it starts

B E
They'll split before they part

B E
Oh they'll split before they part
