C           Em         F        C
I should have known you'd bid me farewell.

         C            Em
There's a lesson to be learned from this

     Am             G7    
and I learned it very well

F               G
Now I know you're not 

        C             Am
the only starfish in the sea.

    Dm             Em
If I never hear your name again 

    F             G
it's all the same to me.


     Am                            
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Dm                  
Yeah, the worst is over,

       G                           F        C 
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.


C        Em         F        C
You never cared for secrets I'd confide.

   C               Em       
For you I'm just an ornament,

Am                G7      
Something for your pride.


F             G            
Always running, never caring,

C                 Am   
That's the life you live. 

Dm            Em
Stolen minutes of your time 

    F            G7
were all you had to give.



     Am                            
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Dm                  
Yeah, the worst is over,

       G                           F        C 
The morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball.


     C            Em        F           C
The story's in the past with nothing to recall.

    C              Em        
I've got my life to live and I 

Am                G7     
don't need you at all.

   F            G             
The roller coaster ride we took is

C          Am   
nearly at an end.

 Dm              Em
I bought my ticket with my tears, 

      F           G
that's all I'm gonna spend.


     Am                            
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Dm                  
Yeah, the worst is over,

       G                          F       C 
Now the morning sun is shining like a Red Rubber Ball. 

Repeat Chorus:

then fade: 
             G                              F         C
 Yeah it's bouncing and it's shining like a Red Rubber Ball
