[Em]
Well you can ride on the fast little wave if [D] that's where you wanna be
But [Em] does the look on your face mean you really feel [D] it?
Do [E] you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg?
A horrible [A] man much too proud to pay
[E] A page from a book that can't be [Em] read at all
Can't you see by the way that they [D] are drawn
[E] That it's not for you to pick up your pistol
[D]
[E] So you wanna see your long legs a-flyin'
Go up to the place where [A] the earth be slayin'
[E] Don't stop and turn around and wave goodbye at all
[D] [C#m] They won't be [E] satisfied
Cause [D] [C#m] you're out of [E] their sights
But [D] [C#m] I wonder how will [E] they feel
[D] [C#m] With a deck of cards
[C] And you're not around to deal

Well I say it's a lie, it's a joke that you [D] are there
[E] You know what things they don't, [D] you won't give in
[E] You're like a cat that's chasing its tail
[A] Makes a million tricks but you're gonna fail
[Am] [D] Sometimes you just don't [E] understand
Well you can ride on the fast little wave if [D] that's where you wanna be
[E] Cause it looks kinda best when you're really [D] feeling happy
[Em] Do you feel like a cannon on a wooden leg?
[A] A poor man works his butt to make
A [Em] page from a book [D] that can't be [E] read at all
