Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Well you can ride on
the crest of a wave,
If that's where you [D]want to be,
But does the [Em]look on your face,
Mean you're really feeling [D]happy?
Or do you [Em]feel like you're
standing on a wooden leg,
Or a [A]poor man much to proud to beg,
Or [C]a page from a [Em]book that can
[D]'t be read at all?
[Em]

[Verse 2]
You gotta see by the way
that they are [D]talking,
That [Em]it's time for you to pick up your
grip... start walk[D]ing,
'Cause [Em]they want to see
your long ... legs flying,
[A]Go to the place where the earth
meets the sky and,
[Em]Don't stop to turn around [D]an
d wave [Em]goodbye at all.

[Verse 3]
[D]
They [C#m]won't be satisfied,
[E]Til[Em]l you[D]'re out[C#m]
of their [E]sight,[Em][D]
But I won[C#m]der how will they fe[E]el,[D]
With a deck [C#m]of car[C]ds,

[Interlude 1]
And you're not around to deal, yeah.

[Verse 4]
[E]fied,[Em][E][D]
Till you're [C#m]out of th[E]eir sight,[Em][D]
But I [C#m]wonder how will [E]they feel,[Em][D]
With a deck [C#m]of car[C]ds,
You're not around to deal?
You're not around to deal.
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Well, they say it's a lie,
a joke that you are [D]living,
[A]But you[Em] know one thing they don't,
you won't [D]give in.
'Cause [Em]you're like a cat,
chasin' its tail,
[A]Makes a million circles,
but you're gonna [Em]fail,
[D]Look down you just don't
under[E]stand.[Em]

[Verse 6]
Well you can [Em]ride on the crest of a wave,
If that's where you [D]want to be,
But does the [Em]look on your face,
Mean you're really feeling
[D]happy?
Well, do you [Em]feel like
you're standing on a wooden leg,
A [A]poor man much to proud to beg,
[Em]Or a page from a [C]book that can
[D]'t be read at [Em]all?

[Verse 7]
Well, do you [Em]feel like
you're standing on a wooden leg,
[E]Or a poor man[A] much to proud to beg,
[C]Or a page from a book that can
[D]'t be read [Em]at all?

[Outro 1]
Read at all.
