[E] The [G] king of the jungle is [C] asleep [E] in his car.
When your [G] chances fall in your lap like that, [D] you gotta recognize them [C] for what they [B] really are.
[E] Nobody [G] in this house
[C] wants to own up [E] to the truth.
I crawl in shotgun [G] and reach into his mouth,
[D] grab hold of one [C] long sharp [B] tooth and hold [Em] on.
[A]
[Em] For dear [B] life, I hold [Em] on.
[A]
[Em] [B]
[E] Of course he [G] wakes up, [C]
his [E] paw hits the horn.
I am gonna [G] regret [D]
the [C] day that I was [B] born.
And then [E] mom rushes out [G] to the driveway.
[C] My [E] sister too.
Everyone's [G] screaming.

[C] [Em] And my palms start to sweat.
[C] And the tears roll [Em] down my [G] face.

[E] I start [G] wailing.
[D]
The [C] lion roars.
[B] [E]
There's no good [G] way to end this.
[C] Anyone [E] can see.

There's this great big [G] you and
[D] little old [C] me.
And [B] we [Em] hold on.
