[G][F][C][F][C]
[F][C][F][Cm][Fsus4][Cm][Fsus4][Eb]
[F][Cm][Fsus4][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[F]Am I an after[C]noon's pas[F]time?
A thing on [C]a string[F]
To be thrown and retrieved
Like a phone call re[Eb]ceived
On [Fsus4]some body[Bb]'s birt[Eb]hday
To [Fsus4]tease and[F] delig[Eb]ht
And [F]then [Fsus4]say goodnight[Eb]
And then just [F]say [G]goodbye?

[Interlude 1]
[G][F]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 2]
[F]Am I a toy on a tray?
A soft [C]piece [F]of clay
Queen [C]or clown for the [F]day
Machine baller[Eb]ina
[Fsus4]Sol dier [Bb]of ti[Eb]n
Standing so loyal
While you sit so royal
Then I'm [G]put away?

[Verse 3]
Ch: For your [G]approval,
[F]Perusal,
And your [G]possible
[F]Refusal,
I'm [G]amusing,
I'm a [F]puppet for [G]your play.

[Verse 4]
[F]Am I your Mad Magazine?
Skin trampoline
Pin- [C]up pin[F]ball machine
Your fantasy [Eb]girl
Of [Fsus4]puzzling [Eb]parts
But [Fsus4]none fits or star[Eb]ts
We match wits but not hearts
I'm heard but never [G]seen?
[F]

[Verse 5]
[G]Chorus [F]again
