 G#Maj                     C
a late april day and it's sunny outside 
 G#Maj                     C
and a red little girl's at the top of a slide
 G#Maj                     C
and an an orange old man at the bottom 
 G#Maj                  Riff 1          
wants to take her for a ride
 
 G#Maj                           C
as she slips and she tumbles the orange man mumbles 
 G#maj                        C
pennies crash down from the sky 
 G#Maj                          C
and he tells her he'll take her away where it's safe 
      G#Maj            Riff 1  
and of course it is a lie 
        

        G#maj                  C
she's a third the down and her skirts are yanked up
        G#maj                        C 
and her little girl cheeks start to wrinkle
        G#maj                  C    
but her smile is wide and her legs are spread wider
        G#maj                  C
her hair growing long and her hips getting larger 
        G#maj
past getting brighter
        G#maj   Riff 1  
light growing weaker.... 

       G#maj                 C
she is halfway down now but the man is impatient 
       G#maj                   C                       
shakes change in his pocket he might have to wait but she's coming... 


G#maj
she's coming...
G#majj
she's coming... 

Cm9
who are you blaming? 
G#maj
they're just playing! 
G
that's a good one... 
Cm9
who left the playground 
        G#maj            G
a good decade before the bell rang? 



        G#maj                    C
as she starts to draw nearer the view becomes clearer 
        G#maj                    C
the splinters are painful but she doesn't feel it 
      G#maj                 C
the pennies were loaded and as they exploded 
      G#maj          Riff 1  
she starts to spin out of control... 


     G#maj                    C
her eyes are now closing her sleeves are unrolling 
     G#maj               C
up past her head and her veins are all showing 
     G#maj               C
not that she noticed she's thoroughly focused on 
 G#maj          C
one old man who's laughing... 
 G#maj
who's laughing....
 G#maj  
who's laughing....


Cm9
dont' worry 
G#Maj
i've got you 
Cm9
don't worry 
G#Maj
i've got you
Cm9
don't worry 
G#Maj
i've got you 
Cm9
don't worry 
G#Maj
i've got you
